Bill > S2483

This bill amends the charter of the town of Wareham, Massachusetts, by changing the timing of its town meetings, which are gatherings where residents vote on local laws and budgets. Specifically, it mandates that Wareham must hold at least two town meetings each year: an annual spring town meeting, primarily for approving the town's budget and other financial matters, which will occur in April at a time set by local by-laws, and an annual fall town meeting, which will take place during the last four months of the year, also at a time determined by by-law. Additionally, the bill allows the board of selectmen, the town's executive branch, to call extra meetings as needed to address town business efficiently.
