AI Summary
This bill allows the Saugus town meeting to adopt a process to introduce non-binding resolutions. The bill specifies that any town meeting member can propose a non-binding resolution with 48 hours' notice to the town clerk, and that resolutions cannot seek to appropriate funds, propose zoning or bylaw changes, or have any binding effect on town government operations. The resolutions will be acted upon during the next town meeting and will require a majority vote of the quorum to be adopted. The bill notes that these resolutions are statements of opinion and not actions of the town meeting as defined by state law.
