House Bill 2633, also known as Senate Bill 2697, amends the charter for the City of Springfield by introducing a new provision regarding nepotism. The bill deletes the existing Section 4 of Article VIII and replaces it with a new section that explicitly prohibits the hiring of relatives of elected city officials and the city manager. Additionally, it states that no employee's relative can be employed in the same department. The definition of "relative" is expanded to include various family relationships, such as parents, siblings, in-laws, and any family member residing in the same household.

The bill requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the legislative body of the City of Springfield for it to take effect. The presiding officer of the legislative body is responsible for proclaiming the approval or nonapproval of the bill and certifying it to the secretary of state. While the bill will become effective immediately for the purpose of approval or rejection, it will only take effect for all other purposes once the legislative body has voted.
