The legislation applies specifically to the town of Reading and takes effect immediately upon passage.

H 3903: An Act amending the charter of the town of Northborough

This bill amends the town charter of Northborough, Massachusetts, to remove a specific sentence from its governing document.

H 283: An Act authorizing the town of Raynham to grant additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises

This bill authorizes the town of Raynham to issue two additional licenses for selling alcohol to-go at specific locations within designated development zones. The new licenses are restricted to one business at 748 New State Highway and one on Broadway between Interstate-495 and Center Street, and they must be clearly marked as restricted. Unlike standard licenses, these permits cannot be transferred to a different address, and the town can only reissue them to new applicants if the previous license was returned to the authority. The act also requires that all taxes and fees be paid in good standing before a new applicant can receive a license under these specific conditions.

H 3842: An Act changing the name of the Board of Selectmen of the town of Gosnold to Selectboard

This bill changes the official name of the executive governing body in the town of Gosnold from the "Board of Selectmen" to the "Selectboard." The law also updates the title of the individual officials from "selectmen" to "selectboard members" while ensuring they retain all existing powers and authority. This change is a cosmetic update to local government terminology that does not alter how the town is run. The act becomes effective immediately upon passing the legislature.
