An Act to amend the Williamstown town charter by making all gender references therein gender neutral

This bill amends the town charter of Williamstown, Massachusetts, to replace gendered terms with gender-neutral language throughout the document. The primary changes involve substituting "Selectmen" and "Selectman" with "Select Board Members" and "Select Board Member," while also updating titles like "Chairman" to "Chairperson" and pronouns such as "his" to "their." Additionally, the bill introduces a new section stating that the Town Manager must be appointed without regard to their political beliefs and clarifies that the manager does not need to be a town resident. These modifications aim to modernize the charter's terminology to reflect inclusive language practices.
