Bill > S1287

This bill establishes mandatory pre-service training programs for new members of various local boards and commissions in Massachusetts. The Department of Public Health, Department of Environmental Protection, and Department of Housing and Community Development are required to develop and provide these free training programs, which must be offered in-person and online. The training covers topics relevant to the specific boards, such as public health, conservation, planning, and zoning. The bill ensures that all new members of these local boards and commissions complete the required training before starting their service.
