House Bill 1429 seeks to amend Chapter 81 of the Private Acts of 2014 concerning the City of New Johnsonville by introducing a new provision aimed at preventing conflicts of interest in elected positions. The bill designates the existing language of Section 2.02 as subsection (a) and adds a new subsection (b), which stipulates that no individual shall be considered for an elected position if they are an immediate relative of another elected official. The term "immediate relative" is defined to include various family relationships such as spouse, parent, child, sibling, and in-laws.

Additionally, the bill requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote from the legislative body of the City of New Johnsonville for it to take effect. The act will be effective upon becoming law for the purpose of approval or rejection, while for all other purposes, it will take effect as outlined in the specified section. This legislative change aims to enhance transparency and integrity within the city's governance by addressing potential nepotism in elected offices.
