Bill > S1968

This bill, originating from the Governor of Massachusetts, proposes an amendment to an existing act that established a community events fund for the town of Wareham. The original act was based on a town meeting vote in October 2014, which intended to reduce the amount of money transferred from the Wareham parking meter fund to the community events fund from 40% to 25%. However, the current legislation mistakenly states that only 20% of the parking meter proceeds should be credited to the community events fund. To correct this discrepancy and ensure the bill accurately reflects the town's wishes, the Governor recommends amending the bill to change the figure "20" to "25" in the relevant section, thereby ensuring that 25% of the parking meter fund proceeds are deposited into the community events fund as intended by the town.
