The bill titled "An Act relative to the town resident requirement for the town manager of the town of Dalton" proposes an amendment to the existing law regarding the residency requirement for the town manager. Specifically, it seeks to remove the provision that states the town manager "need not be a resident of the town or commonwealth when appointed, shall become a resident of the town within one year after appointment." This change would eliminate the requirement for the town manager to become a resident of Dalton within a year of their appointment.

If enacted, this bill would allow for greater flexibility in the selection of a town manager, as it would no longer mandate residency within a specified timeframe. The bill is presented by legislators Leigh Davis and Paul W. Mark and is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
