AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the integrity of town meetings by amending the existing state law, Chapter 56 of the General Laws. The key provision of the bill is the insertion of new language that prohibits the use of incentives to encourage or discourage attendance at town meetings. This change is designed to ensure that town meetings, which are an important part of local government in many communities, are conducted in a fair and unbiased manner, without the influence of external incentives that could skew participation and decision-making.
