AI Summary

This bill establishes a four-year term for school committee members elected by ward in the City of Holyoke, meaning these elected officials will serve twice as long as they currently do. This change will take effect for the municipal election in 2017, and any existing laws that conflict with this new four-year term will be repealed. The bill also requires that voters in Holyoke approve this change by voting on a specific question on the ballot during the 2015 municipal election, and if approved, the city solicitor will prepare a summary of the law to be presented with the ballot question.
