AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing law regarding vacancies on housing and redevelopment authorities. Specifically, it adds a provision to chapter 121B, section 5, stating that if the "department" (likely referring to a state agency responsible for overseeing these authorities) fails to fill a vacancy within 120 days of it occurring, the local "board of selectmen" (the elected governing body of a town) must appoint someone to fill the position for the remainder of the term. This change aims to ensure that these authorities are not left without members for extended periods.
