S 1288 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act authorizing the County Commissioners of Dukes County to appoint a treasurer who may not be a resident of the county

This bill allows the County Commissioners of Dukes County to hire a county treasurer who does not live in the county. It overrides existing state laws that typically require county treasurers to be residents of their jurisdiction. The change ensures that future appointments are not restricted by residency requirements, while the current treasurer continues working until their term ends.
