An Act establishing the appointed office of Town Clerk in the town of Bolton

This bill creates a new, appointed position for Town Clerk in the town of Bolton, Massachusetts. Under the new rules, the select board will hire and fire the clerk for terms of up to three years, rather than following previous selection methods. The appointed clerk will perform the same official duties and follow the same legal rules as clerks in other towns. The law also ensures that any current clerk keeps their job until a new person is hired under these new rules.
