H 4886 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the appointment of an associate member of the town of Bernardston board of health

This bill allows the selectboard of the town of Bernardston to appoint an associate member to its board of health for a term of up to one year. The key provision enables the board's chair to designate this associate member to vote and participate as a full member when a quorum is missing due to conflicts of interest or vacancies. By clarifying these roles, the legislation ensures the board can continue functioning effectively without needing to wait for a permanent replacement to be appointed.
