Bill Summary

Relative to the office of mayor in the city of Holyoke. Election Laws. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to the process for filling a vacancy in the office of the mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts. Specifically, if a vacancy occurs in 2021, the City Council would appoint one of its own members to serve as acting mayor, rather than holding a special election or having the City Council President assume the role as required by the city charter. The mayoral candidate elected in the regularly scheduled 2021 municipal election would then immediately take office upon certification of the results, serving the remainder of the unexpired term. The bill would take effect upon passage.
