Bill Summary

This bill proposes to amend the charter of the Town of Williston to remove listers as elected officers and instead enable the Town to employ or contract with an assessor.

AI Summary

This bill formally approves amendments to the charter of the Town of Williston, which were previously approved by the town's voters, by removing the elected position of "lister" and instead allowing the town to hire or contract with a qualified "assessor" to perform property valuation duties, aligning with state statutes. The bill also clarifies that the assessor will have the same responsibilities and liabilities as the former listers, and it includes a provision for the transition of any current listers' terms to expire after an assessor is in place.
