Massachusetts H5171 removes the Treasurer as the acting mayor in the Holyoke Charter.

Massachusetts H5171 amends the City of Holyoke Charter by removing the Treasurer as the acting mayor. Instead, the city clerk will act as mayor if the mayor is unable to perform duties. The mayor can designate the city clerk to act as mayor, or if the mayor fails to designate, the city clerk will automatically act as mayor. The act also includes provisions for the city council president to act as mayor if the city clerk is unable to perform duties. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
