SECTION 1. The charter of the town of Greenfield, which is on file in the office of the archivist of the commonwealth, as provided in section 12 of chapter 43B of the General Laws, is hereby amended by striking out Section 4-3 and inserting in place thereof the following:-

SECTION 4-3:  PROHIBITIONS

No person elected as a School Committee member shall hold any other Town office or Town employment for which a salary or other emolument is payable from the Town treasury unless:

a. A vote is taken by the school committee to exempt said committee member with a majority vote of the committee for the calendar year of said employment; and

b. such employment is temporary or part time; and

c. such employment is not subject to any Town funded benefit package; and

d. such employment does not exceed payment of more than $7500 per year.

No former member of the School Committee shall hold any compensated appointed Town office or Town employment until one (1) year following the date on which such member's service on the School Committee has terminated unless a majority vote of the school committee is taken to exempt said school committee member. This provision shall not prevent a Town officer or other Town employee who has taken a leave of absence in order to serve as a member of the School Committee from returning to the same office or other position of Town employment held at the time such leave of absence commenced; provided, however, no such person shall be eligible for any other municipal position until at least one (1) year following the termination of service as a member of the School Committee.
