AN ACT REGARDING MOTIONS AT THE TOWN OF SCITUATE ANNUAL FINANCIAL TOWN MEETING

Summary

The law adds a rule that any motion at Scituate’s June financial town meeting that would raise or cut a council‑recommended appropriation by $10,000 or more must be announced in writing to the town treasurer, signed by at least ten qualified voters, and published by May 15. The requirement does not apply to special meetings, and smaller amendments to such motions may still be considered. The change will only take effect if voters approve it in a November 2026 referendum.
