Allows municipal boards to postpone public hearings due to weather emergencies.
The bill enables the chair of any municipal board, including planning boards and boards of appeals, to postpone public hearings if a weather-related emergency occurs. The chair must consult with local public safety officials and declare the postponement. The new hearing time and place must be selected within three days and announced via various media, including municipal websites. If no suitable municipal facility is available, the hearing can be moved to a contiguous municipality.
