Bill > H4761

This bill authorizes the town of West Boylston to appoint its town clerk, meaning the clerk will be chosen by the town administrator rather than being elected by the voters. This change will abolish the elected position of town clerk, though the current clerk will continue in their role until a new appointed clerk is named. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing laws, specifically chapter 41 and chapter 23 of the Acts of 1995, to reflect this new appointment process and to include the town clerk in certain town administrative functions.
