The bill proposes amendments to the town charter of Bridgewater to incorporate gender-neutral language. Specifically, it seeks to replace instances of the word "his" with "their" in subsections (c) of section 2-3 and section 6-1, and to replace "him" with "them" in subsection (a) of section 2-12. These changes aim to ensure that the language used in the town charter is inclusive and reflects modern standards of gender neutrality.

The amendments will take effect only upon approval by a majority vote at an annual or special town election in Bridgewater. This process ensures that the community has a say in the adoption of these changes to their governing document.
