Inexpedient to Legislate: MA VV 03/05/2026 HJ 6 P. 27
Summary
The measure restores rules that allow local governments to draw from their capital reserve funds to make multiple payments on financing deals, including lease‑purchase agreements. Such use is only allowed when the agreement has no escape or non‑appropriation clauses and is approved by a two‑thirds vote of all voters at an annual or special meeting. It is intended to provide tighter oversight of reserve fund spending.
