Official statutory text
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.
