The bill H.10 proposes amendments to the charter of the City of Barre, which include establishing the date of the annual City meeting as the second Tuesday in May and separating the offices of City Clerk and City Treasurer, with the latter being appointed rather than elected. The General Assembly has approved these amendments, which were voted on by the citizens of Barre on May 14, 2024.

In addition to the changes regarding the City meeting date and the separation of the Clerk and Treasurer roles, the bill also repeals various provisions related to the School District, including the election of school commissioners and the appointment of school board members. The amendments clarify the governance structure of the City, allowing the City Council to appoint a Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers, and they emphasize the prohibition of deficit spending by the City. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
