An Act relative to the charter and the town clerk in the town of Falmouth

Signed into LawFiled May 4, 2026
Sponsor: Thomas P. Walsh (D)
Latest Action

Executive: Signed by the Governor, Chapter 106 of the Acts of 2026

Summary

The law rewrites the town of Falmouth’s charter so the town clerk is no longer elected by voters. Instead, the town manager will appoint the clerk with the select board’s approval, and the incumbent elected clerk becomes the first appointed clerk for the rest of the term. This changes how the office is filled and aligns its salary with the town’s full‑time, non‑union pay scale.
