Mr. Ross and Ms. Spilka move to amend the bill by inserting the following new section:-

SECTION XX: Section 38A of chapter 41 of the general laws is hereby amended by striking the first sentence and inserting in place thereof the following:

A city or town may by ordinance, by-law or vote, notwithstanding any other provision of law, general or special, provide that the collector of taxes shall be authorized to collect, under the title of city or town collector, any accounts due the city or town, and may in like manner define his powers and duties in relation to the collection of such accounts, but no such ordinance, by-law or vote, heretofore or hereafter passed, shall limit such collector in the exercise of the remedies hereinafter conferred.
