AI Summary
This bill proposes changes to Chapter 258 of the General Laws, specifically Section 9, which deals with indemnification, a form of protection against financial loss. The bill aims to extend this protection to town managers and town administrators, ensuring they are indemnified for claims related to their service, similar to how other public officials are protected under the constitution. It also increases the maximum indemnification amount from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 and clarifies that this indemnification will continue even after a town manager or administrator leaves their position in the municipality. These provisions are also being applied to Section 13 of the same chapter.
