Bill Summary

Relative to incumbent town meeting members in the town of Burlington. Election Laws. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill amends a previous law to change the requirements for incumbent town meeting members in the town of Burlington to be re-elected. The bill states that any incumbent town meeting member can become a candidate for re-election by notifying the town clerk, but they must have attended at least 50% of the individual days of town meeting during their term, regardless of whether a quorum was present or any business was conducted. If an incumbent does not meet this attendance requirement, they must follow the same requirements as a non-incumbent candidate for town meeting.
