AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the existing law governing the Steamship Authority to adjust the voting weights of its members. Specifically, it proposes that the Dukes County and Nantucket members' votes each count as 35% of the total, while the Barnstable, Falmouth, and New Bedford members' votes each count as 10%. This change is intended to ensure that the combined votes of the Dukes County and Nantucket members can pass or defeat any motion before the Authority, provided that the vote also includes a member from a town with less than 15% voting weight.
