Summary

The bill establishes clear rules for municipalities to remove appointed or elected members of planning, zoning and other land‑use boards when they commit malfeasance, misfeasance, inefficiency, or neglect of duty. It requires a petition, public hearing, notice, and a vote, and gives the removed member a right to appeal to the superior court. Vacancies are filled under existing statutes and removed members cannot serve again for the rest of the term.
