An Act amending the charter of the town of Scituate

This bill amends Scituate's town charter to clarify and restructure local governance. It establishes the Town Meeting as the primary legislative body open to all voters and defines the Moderator's role in presiding over meetings and appointing committees. The charter specifies a five-member Select Board elected for three-year terms with staggered elections and requires town officials to attend meetings to provide information on agenda items. These changes aim to formalize procedures for town meetings and official roles under state law.
