AI Summary

This bill amends the town manager act of Arlington by making several changes to terminology and board responsibilities. Specifically, the bill replaces references to the "Select Board" with "Redevelopment Board" in multiple sections of the existing law. It removes mentions of the "Board of Survey" and replaces the term "surveyors" with "regulators". The bill eliminates a lengthy provision that previously outlined the limitations on the Redevelopment Board's powers in relation to the Board of Survey, effectively streamlining the language and potentially simplifying the board's organizational structure. The bill appears to be a technical update to the town's governance language, clarifying the roles and terminology of local government bodies. The changes will take effect immediately upon passage, and the bill has received local approval, indicating support from the local Arlington government.
