An Act relative to the charter of the town of Provincetown
This bill amends the town charter of Provincetown to restrict who can run for or hold elected office there. Specifically, it prohibits any candidate or official from serving if they currently own a homestead property located outside of Provincetown. The rule is designed to ensure that local leaders maintain a primary residence within the town they represent. If passed, the change would immediately apply to future elections and terms under the updated charter.
