AI Summary
This bill repeals Chapter 331 of the acts of 1971 and establishes the office of town clerk for the town of Southwick as a separate, appointive office. The town clerk will perform all functions of the town clerk's office and continue to be an ex-officio member of the board of registrars. The select board will appoint the town clerk for a term of 1, 2, or 3 years and may remove them at their discretion. The bill also merges the offices of town treasurer and collector of taxes into a single office of treasurer-collector, which will be an appointive office.

The select board may enter into personal services contracts with both the town clerk and treasurer-collector to define their employment terms.
