Executive: Signed by the Governor, Chapter 116 of the Acts of 2026
Summary
The act reincorporates Orange as a municipal corporation and adopts a charter that establishes an Open Town Meeting‑Select Board‑Town Manager form of government. It outlines the town’s powers, how meetings are conducted, quorum requirements, and the roles of the Finance and Planning Boards. This matters because it formalizes local self‑government and decision‑making procedures for all Orange residents and officials.
