The bill seeks to amend the charter of the Bonnet Shores Fire District by changing the qualifications for voter eligibility and the method of voting. It removes the previous requirement for property ownership of a certain value and the ability to vote by proxy or through a representative for certain entities. The new language stipulates that all residents of the Bonnet Shores Fire District who are registered and eligible to vote in the Town of Narragansett have the right to vote in person or by other approved means for district offices and questions. The bill also allows the district council to establish absentee voting methods, provided they do not permit one person to vote on behalf of another.

Additionally, the bill modifies the structure and election process of the district council and other officers, setting the council size to at least three but no more than seven qualified voters. It clarifies the powers and duties of the district council, fire wardens, and other officers, emphasizing their role in supervising and managing the district's affairs. The amendments will become effective after being accepted by the residents and qualified voters of the Bonnet Shores Fire District through a ballot and upon filing a certificate of acceptance with the secretary of state. The act will be effective immediately upon passage, contingent upon approval by the district's electorate at a special meeting before the next annual meeting.
