Bill Summary

Relative to representation on regional transit authorities. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 161B of the General Laws to change the representation on regional transit authorities. Specifically, it allows a regional transit authority to appoint a "resident or other qualified person" to represent a city or town, rather than requiring the representative to be from that city or town. It also changes the process for selecting representatives, allowing cities and towns to rotate the selection of the representative rather than having representatives serve fixed one-year terms.
