An Act changing the Holyoke Treasurer position from elected to appointed

This bill proposes changing the method for selecting the Holyoke city treasurer from an elected position to one appointed by the city council. It authorizes a special election in January 2025 to let voters approve a charter amendment that would allow the council to choose the treasurer for a three-year term starting in 2026. If voters approve the change, the current treasurer would remain in office until February 2026, and the council would then set the qualifications for the new appointed role. The legislation also repeals older state laws that conflict with this new selection process.
