Committee reports dozens of local-charter, zoning and administrative bills — votes at a glance
Summary
The House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns reported scores of bills from subcommittees on charter updates, zoning and administrative changes. This roundup lists each bill, the committee action and vote tallies recorded during the hearing.
The House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns on Wednesday reported a string of bills from subcommittees, approving most by recorded votes and tabling a small number for later consideration.
The committee met in full after subcommittee reports and recorded roll-call results for many bills that amend local charters, zoning procedures and administrative statutes. Most items were procedural or technical charter updates for individual towns and local authorities; several prompted no extended debate and were reported by unanimous or near-unanimous roll call.
