Section 6.24 - Exemption to Continue Certain Exemptions Affected by Municipal Population Changes Until Next Municipal Election(1)Purpose. The purpose of 930 CMR 6.24 is to clarify the application of statutory exemptions to M.G.L. c. 268A, §§ 17 and 20, when the population of a municipality has changed and an exemption from the law becomes unavailable as the result of such change in population.(2)Exemptions. When a decennial census results in the unavailability of an exemption under M.G.L. c. 268A, §§ 17 and/or 20, any person who had an exemption under either of those sections based on the prior decennial census may continue to use that exemption as stated in 930 CMR 6.24(2)(a) and (b). (a) Appointed municipal employees may continue to use the previously available exemption until 120 days after the Commission notifies the affected municipality in writing that population change has rendered a previously available exemption to the conflict of interest law unavailable.(b) Elected municipal employees may continue to use the previously available exemption until the next municipal election, whether or not the affected employee's term has expired at the time of such election.
