The bill aims to validate and ratify amendments to the Home Rule Charter of the city of Woonsocket that were approved by the city's electors on November 5, 2024. It explicitly states that the provisions of these amendments requiring ratification, confirmation, validation, or enactment by the General Assembly are hereby ratified, confirmed, validated, and enacted. The bill emphasizes that it does not intend to abrogate or impair the powers granted to towns or cities by the home rule amendment and other applicable laws of Rhode Island, nor the rights retained by Woonsocket in its Home Rule Charter.
Additionally, the bill includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is deemed invalid, the remainder of the act will still be effective. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage. There are no specific insertions or deletions noted in the text provided, as it primarily serves to affirm the amendments already approved by the city's electors.
