HD 6301 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing remote participation at town meetings and special town meetings in the town of Belmont

This bill authorizes the town of Belmont to hold regular and special town meetings where voters participate in person, remotely, or through a hybrid format. It requires that any meeting held fully or partially online be recorded and made publicly available on the town's website or another public video platform for at least 30 days. The legislation ensures that all actions taken during these remote or hybrid sessions carry the same legal weight as those from traditional in-person meetings, and it takes effect immediately upon passage.
