AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE RANDOLPH PUBLIC LIBRARY

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith to make the Town of Randolph eligible for the state aid to public libraries program in fiscal year 2008, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

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    Notwithstanding any general or special law or regulation to the contrary, the board of library commissioners shall certify that the town of Randolph has met the minimum hour standards of free public library service and said town of Randolph shall be eligible, under section 19A of chapter 78 of the General Laws for the state aid to public libraries program for fiscal year 2008.
