The bill proposes an amendment to the charter of the town of Swampscott, specifically to Section 2-3 of chapter 2. It establishes a fall annual town meeting to be held on the first Monday in December each year, in addition to the existing annual town meeting scheduled for the third Monday in May. The amendment involves deleting the third sentence of the current law and replacing it with the new provision that includes the December meeting, while also allowing for additional meetings as determined by the select board.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that this charter amendment will take precedence over any conflicting provisions in the town's charter or by-laws. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage, ensuring that the new meeting schedule is implemented without delay.
