Bill > H3977

This bill, concerning the town of Framingham's board of health, primarily aims to increase its membership. Specifically, it amends existing law by removing language that applied to "each such board and commission" and instead specifies that certain provisions now apply only to the board of public works and the parks and recreation commission, indicating a shift in how those entities are governed. The core change is to the composition of the board of health itself: Section 2 states that the board will initially consist of four members serving three-year staggered terms, while Section 3 then revises this to five members, also serving three-year staggered terms, with Section 4 and Section 5 detailing that the initial change to four members takes effect on July 1, 2016, and the subsequent increase to five members takes effect on July 1, 2017.
