H 2320 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the position of treasurer-collector in the town of Berkley

This bill creates a single appointed treasurer-collector position in Berkley, replacing the previously elected treasurer and collector roles. It directly affects Berkley's local government operations by consolidating financial duties into one position appointed by the town's board of selectmen. The bill requires the current elected officials to continue serving until their terms end or a new appointee is chosen, whichever comes first, while transferring all existing records, property, and responsibilities to the new appointed role. The change takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
