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 the time commitments of city officers, potentially enabling them to engage in other professional activities while serving in their official capacities.

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 presiding officer of the legislative body is responsible for proclaiming the approval or disapproval of the act and certifying it to the secretary of state. While the act will become effective upon becoming law for the purpose of approval or rejection, it will follow the provisions outlined in Section 2 for all other purposes.
