The bill enacts amendments to the charter of the City of Barre, which were approved by voters on May 14, 2024. Key changes include the adjustment of the fiscal year to begin on July 1 and the rescheduling of the annual City meeting from the first Tuesday in March to the second Tuesday in May. Additionally, the bill repeals provisions related to the election of school commissioners and special school district meetings, thereby streamlining the governance structure of the City.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new responsibilities for the City Council, allowing them to appoint and remove a Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers, who will be accountable for municipal treasury duties under state law. It also emphasizes that the City Council and City Manager cannot authorize expenditures beyond the budget approved by voters, thereby prohibiting deficit spending. The act is set to take effect upon passage, with specific repeals of previous sections related to the school district's governance.
