Bill Summary

Relative to validating the actions taken at the annual town election held in the town of Dudley.

AI Summary

This bill validates actions taken by the town of Dudley at its annual town election held on June 15, 2015, and any subsequent actions that relied on those election results. This validation is being done even if the town did not fully comply with all legal requirements for posting a warrant, which is a notice detailing the business to be conducted at a town meeting or election, as outlined in sections 10 of chapter 39 and 64 of chapter 54 of the General Laws. The bill's purpose is to ensure that the decisions made and actions taken based on that election are legally sound and binding, regardless of any procedural oversight in the warrant posting.
