The MMA legislative team provided a recap of the 2022 legislative session, as well as an in-depth discussion of some issues of particular importance to select boards. Topics included election reform and the VOTES Act, the open meeting law and remote meetings, cannabis, and the the Department of Housing and Community Development’s final guidelines for MBTA communities.
The team also reviewed what is on the horizon for the Legislature in the fall, including a major economic development bill, supplemental budget proposals, and the state’s allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act.
