Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
SECTION 1. (a) Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, in circumstances in the town of Milton where a quorum of a public body requires a simple majority of the members of that public body, the quorum shall be a simple majority of the members appointed to that public body rather than a simple majority of all of the members of that public body as authorized.
