HB 1131 (2026)

Change voting method for adopting SB 2 town meetings

This bill did not become law.

Last updated 2026-06-15 8:47 am
Summary:

Requires that the question of adopting or rescinding the "official ballot referendum" (SB 2) form of town meeting be voted on by official ballot with polling hours, rather than by a ballot vote during the meeting.

The Senate amended the bill to instead requires that questions proposing to adopt an SB2 form of meeting be placed first on annual meeting warrants.

The House then added their version of the bill to SB 557.
