Bill Summary

Relative to a town meeting quorum in the town of Framingham. Municipalities and Regional Government. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill, concerning municipal and regional government in Framingham, Massachusetts, proposes to change the rules for how many town meeting members are needed to conduct official business, known as a quorum. Currently, the law states that eighty town members are required for a quorum. This bill would amend that by removing the fixed number of eighty and instead establishing that a quorum will be a majority of the town meeting members who are currently serving. This change requires local approval, which has been received.
