Bill > H4272

This bill amends a 2002 law to provide for recall elections in the town of North Brookfield, Massachusetts. The bill outlines the specific reasons for which a recall can be initiated, including lack of fitness (e.g., insobriety, involuntary commitment, or being placed under guardianship), corruption (e.g., felony conviction, bribery, or extortion), neglect of duties (e.g., repeated absences without just cause), and misfeasance (e.g., unlawful performance of official acts, conflict of interest, or ethical violations). The bill was passed by a margin of 62 to 22 after a hand vote was deemed too close to call.
