An Act creating the appointed positions of town treasurer and tax collector in the town of Westwood

This bill authorizes the town of Westwood to establish appointed positions for a town treasurer and a tax collector, which may be held by the same person. It amends the town's charter to create these roles and allows the town administrator to appoint qualified individuals who do not need to be local residents. Upon these appointments, any existing elected officials in those roles will be removed and their positions abolished. The legislation also clarifies that these new offices will function within the town's department of municipal finance alongside the board of assessors.
