Bill > H4717

This bill modifies the date of the annual town meeting for the town of Orange, Massachusetts, specifically overriding previous local legislation from 2007 and a 2008 legislative act. The bill stipulates that the Annual Town Meeting will now be held on the second Monday in May, instead of the date previously established by those prior local government decisions. The legislation will take effect immediately upon its passage, which means it becomes law as soon as it is signed. This type of local special legislation is common in Massachusetts, where specific towns can request targeted changes to their municipal procedures through state legislative action.
