The proposed bill seeks to change the designation of the executive body in the town of Oxford from "board of selectmen" to "select board." This change includes renaming the members of the board from "selectmen" to "select board members" and the chair from "chairman" to "chair." The bill asserts that the select board will retain all the powers and authority previously held by the board of selectmen under existing laws.

Additionally, the bill allows the select board to amend the town's general by-laws and zoning by-laws by majority vote to update all references from the board of selectmen and its members to the new terminology. This amendment is intended to ensure consistency in the town's legal documents following the name change. The act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
