House Bill 2661 proposes a comprehensive revision of the City of Niota's charter, originally established in 1919. The bill replaces the existing charter with a new version that clarifies the city's corporate capacity, boundaries, and the powers of the Mayor and Board of Commissioners. It maintains the city's status as a body politic and corporate, allowing it to engage in legal actions, acquire property, and manage municipal affairs. The new charter outlines specific powers for the city government, including the authority to levy taxes, issue bonds, regulate public utilities, and oversee public health and safety.

Significant changes to the governance structure are introduced, particularly regarding the roles of the Mayor and Board of Commissioners. The bill details their powers, including assessing impact fees, regulating businesses, and enforcing ordinances. It establishes a framework for city elections, ensuring alignment with state laws, and outlines the responsibilities of the City Administrator, City Attorney, and City Recorder. The bill also emphasizes financial management, including budget preparation and tax collection, while ensuring the continuity of existing ordinances. A two-thirds vote from the legislative body is required for the bill to take effect, with some provisions becoming effective immediately upon approval.
