The Governor is returning a Pittsfield charter bill with a requested change: rather than starting four-year terms for city councilors and school committee members in 2029, the first four-year terms would begin with the 2031 election, aligning them with the next mayoral race.

Repeals a provision from a 1980 law related to the MBTA Red Line extension. The bill's practical effect depends on what that original provision required or prohibited, but the repeal removes an existing legal obligation or restriction tied to the Red Line.
