Bill H.510, introduced by Representative Burtt of Cabot, seeks to repeal the charter of the Town of Danville. The General Assembly has approved this repeal, which was also voted on and approved by the town's voters on March 4, 2025. The bill includes a specific amendment to the existing law, which removes the provisions regarding the calling and warning of annual and special meetings, as well as the voting procedures for the town and highway budgets, which were previously mandated to be conducted by Australian ballot.
The act will take effect immediately upon passage, signifying a swift transition away from the existing charter framework for the Town of Danville. This legislative move reflects the town's decision to discontinue its charter and potentially adopt new governance structures or practices moving forward.
