The bill titled "An Act providing for the filling of a vacancy on the Groton-Dunstable School Committee" proposes a specific procedure for filling a vacancy in one of the two Dunstable seats on the Groton-Dunstable regional school district committee. This vacancy may arise following the 2026 Dunstable annual town election. The bill allows the Dunstable select board and the remaining Dunstable member of the committee to jointly appoint a new member to serve a three-year term, which will last until the 2029 Dunstable annual town election.

This legislation overrides existing provisions in the Groton-Dunstable regional school district agreement and section 16A of chapter 71 of the General Laws, or any other conflicting laws, to facilitate this appointment process. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
