Bill > H4275

This bill modernizes municipal finance and government by updating several laws. It requires a copy of a certificate related to liens to be filed with the tax collector of the relevant city or town, and it introduces a new registration decal requirement for certain documented vessels owned by Massachusetts residents, with information to be shared with local assessors for excise tax purposes, excluding commercial vessels. The bill also updates the definitions of "Audit sheet" and "Citation" within the laws governing traffic citations, allowing for electronic issuance and record-keeping of citations, and clarifying procedures for handling spoiled or voided electronic citations, including the requirement for an electronic audit trail. Additionally, it updates who can be designated to receive or approve certain documents related to these processes, such as the Secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation or their designee.
