AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Berkley to increase the size of its board of selectmen, which is a local governing body, from its current size to five members. The bill outlines a transition plan for this expansion, stipulating that at the next town election after the bill becomes law, two additional members will be elected. One of these new members will serve a three-year term, and the other will serve a two-year term, with all subsequent elections for these positions resulting in three-year terms, ensuring that the board eventually has five members each serving a three-year term. Existing selectmen will continue to serve their current terms.
