H 5611 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the water and sewer commission of the town of Hopedale

This bill grants the Water and Sewer Commission of the Town of Hopedale full authority to hire, manage, and fire all employees within the water and sewer department. By making the commission the appointing authority, the legislation centralizes personnel decisions under this specific body rather than leaving them to other officials. The change directly affects the department's staff and the commission members who will now oversee their employment status.
