Mr. Speliotis of Danvers moves to amend the bill by striking out sections 6 and 7 and inserting in place thereof the following 2 sections:-

“SECTION 6.  Sections 1 to 5, inclusive, shall be submitted to the voters of the town of Abington at the 2017 annual town election in the form of the following question:

“Shall an act passed by the general court in the year 2017 entitled 'An Act Relative to the Charter of the Town of Abington' be accepted?”

A fair and concise summary of the act prepared by town counsel shall appear beneath the question.  If a majority of votes cast in answer to that question is in the affirmative, sections 1 to 5, inclusive, shall take effect, but not otherwise.

SECTION 7. This act shall take effect upon its passage.”
