An Act Regarding the Town of Marion Open Space Acquisition Commission..
 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to require authorization of the Marion Town Meeting for any acquisition of interests in land by the Marion Open Space Acquisition Commission, therefore, it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
                                           
 

              Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

              Chapter 187 of the Acts of 1998 is hereby amended by striking the second sentence thereof in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

                              Said commission shall have the powers of a conservation commission with

                              respect to the acquisition of interests in land and the expenditure of funds

                              under the provisions of section 8C of chapter 40 of the General Laws;

                              provided, however, that any acquisition of interests in land by said

                              commission shall require authorization by a majority vote of the Marion

                              Town Meeting.
