Correction - Rectification of other errors and omissions -

Validation of business of original action.

When any of the requirements of this act as to notice of a

biennial or special town meeting have been omitted or not complied

with, the omission or noncompliance, if the meeting and the business

transacted at it is otherwise legal and within the scope of the

municipal powers, may be corrected and legalized by a majority vote

of the registered voters present at a regular town meeting or

special town meeting of the municipality called for that purpose,

with notice as required by Section 4 of this act. The question to

be voted upon shall substantially be, "Shall the action taken at the

meeting of this town held on (state date) in spite of the fact that

(state error or omission), and any act or action of the municipal

officers or agents pursuant thereto be readopted, ratified and

confirmed?". Errors or omissions in the conduct of an original

meeting which are not the result of an unlawful notice or

noncompliance within the scope of the notice, may be rectified by a

resolution of the governing body of the municipality passed by a

majority of the members of the governing body at a regular meeting

or a special meeting called for that purpose, stating that the

defect was the result of oversight, inadvertence or mistake. When

an error or omission of this nature has been thus corrected by

resolution, all business within the terms of the action of the

qualified voters shall be as valid as if the requirements had been

initially complied with, on condition, however, that the original

action thereby corrected by the governing body was in compliance

with the legal exercise of its governing powers.
