The bill proposes an amendment to Section 2 of Chapter 974 of the Rhode Island Public Laws of 1940, which pertains to the Stone Bridge Fire District and the provision of water supply for the town of Tiverton. The amendment involves a deletion of the word "taxable" from the description of the inhabitants of the district who are qualified to vote in town affairs on propositions to impose a tax for the expenditure of money. This change clarifies that all inhabitants who are qualified to vote in town affairs, not just those who are taxable, are eligible to vote and act in all meetings of the district.

The bill specifies that the act would take effect immediately upon passage, noting that it has already been approved by the residents of the district at a meeting held on July 12, 2022. The explanation provided by the Legislative Council indicates that the purpose of the amendment is to clarify the eligibility of district residents to vote at district meetings.
