Summary

The law amends Orange’s town charter to create a five‑member Board of Selectmen, each serving three‑year terms with staggered elections so at least one seat is up each year. It retroactively validates any actions the board took after the size increase and lets current members finish their existing terms. The change takes effect immediately upon the bill’s passage.
