What must the clerk post and publish when the Attorney General has elected to proceed under Chapter 299 of the Acts of 2000 to waive minor defects in the notice of the planning board hearing?
The town clerk must post the entire Form 299A (this form is three pages in length). Chapter 299 of the Acts of 2000 amends M.G.L. c. 40, § 32, and allows the Attorney General to waive defects in the form and content of the planning board hearing notice. When the Attorney General elects to proceed under this Chapter, the Attorney General will send to the town two signed copies of Form 299A — one copy is to be kept by the town clerk, and one copy is to be returned to the Attorney General’s Office. After complying with the terms of the notice, the town clerk must return one completed Form 299A on which the Town Clerk’s Certification has been completed and signed.
