The bill titled "An Act relative to the governance of the municipal light plant in the town of Hull" seeks to amend the governance structure of the Municipal Light Plant in Hull, Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes to delete paragraph 14A from subsection C of Section 4 of Chapter 8 of the Acts of 1989, which was previously added by Chapter 93 of the Acts of 1993. This deletion is intended to streamline the governance of the Municipal Light Board, which will now have comprehensive authority over the operation, management, and control of the Municipal Light Plant as outlined in Chapter 164 of the General Laws.
Furthermore, the bill grants the Municipal Light Board the power to establish policies and to hire or fire the Municipal Light Plant Manager, while still adhering to collective bargaining agreements and civil service requirements. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it will not affect any existing lawful contracts or obligations related to the Municipal Light Plant. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
