AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts Constitution to replace the term "selectmen" with "select board" wherever it appears. This change reflects the more gender-inclusive language of "select board" rather than the traditionally male-centric "selectmen" term. The bill makes this amendment across various sections of the state constitution, including those related to local and regional government. The purpose is to update the constitutional language to be more representative of modern governance structures.
