This bill proposes amendments to the town charter of Bridgewater to incorporate gender-neutral language. Specifically, it seeks to replace the pronouns "his" and "him" with "their" and "them" in various sections of the charter. The amendments are made in subsection (c) of section 2-3, subsection (a) of section 2-12, and section 6-1, ensuring that the language used is inclusive and reflects a modern understanding of gender.
The changes will take effect only after receiving approval by a majority vote at an annual or special town election in Bridgewater. This initiative aims to promote equality and inclusivity within the town's governing documents, aligning them with contemporary values regarding gender representation.
