An unidentified speaker said a local home-rule petition, H.4805, was passed by the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Jan. 22 and has been sent to the state Senate.
The speaker said the petition would formalize the town administrator structure and update the board appointment process and that they would advocate for Senate passage, working with state Senator Becca Rausch. The remarks noted that five bills were merged into a single petition to accomplish the changes.
The speaker gave no further legislative text or calendar dates for Senate action and did not report a formal vote by the local body. The remarks framed the development as a procedural advance on a local governance change and a continuation of state-level advocacy.
