Bill Summary

For legislation to further regulate the term of the town moderator in the town of Norwood. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill modifies the existing law regarding the term of the town moderator in Norwood, Massachusetts by changing the duration of the moderator's term from an unspecified length to a specific 3-year term. Under the new provision, the moderator will be elected by registered voters using a ballot and will serve for 3 years, continuing to preside over all town meetings as required by law until a successor is qualified. The bill specifies that the changes will take effect immediately upon passage, and it appears to be a local legislative action that has received local approval, meaning the town of Norwood supports this modification to its municipal governance structure.
