House Bill 1424 seeks to amend the charter for the City of Gallatin by modifying Article VI, Section 2a of Chapter 67 of the Private Acts of 1953, as previously amended. The bill proposes to delete the requirement that "All officers of the city, except the city attorney, shall devote all of their time to their respective offices." This change allows for greater flexibility in how city officers manage their time and responsibilities.

The bill stipulates that it will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the legislative body of the City of Gallatin. The outcome of this vote will be announced by the presiding officer of the legislative body and certified to the secretary of state. While the bill will become effective immediately for the purpose of approval or rejection, it will only be fully effective as outlined in the provisions of Section 2 if it receives the necessary legislative approval.
