§ 36-5. Quantum of vote; reports.

A. 

Each article appearing in the warrant for every Town meeting shall be accompanied therein by a printed statement, prepared by the Board of Selectmen, of the quantum of vote required for taking action under the article and a citation to the legal authority establishing said quantum of vote, except that where, in the opinion of the Board of Selectmen, the quantum of vote and citation are not yet known with reasonable certainty at the time the warrant is prepared, a printed statement to this effect shall suffice.

B. 

If the Finance Committee prepares a printed report for an article in the warrant for any Town meeting, then the governmental body or group of petitioners that sponsors the insertion of that article in the warrant may do likewise. The sponsor's report, not to exceed 150 words, shall be printed in the warrant immediately following the article itself.
