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 city's 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 the operation of the school district, effectively removing the school district's governance from the city's charter.

Other notable amendments include the introduction of new responsibilities for the City Council, such as the authority to appoint and remove a Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers, and the prohibition of deficit spending by the City. The bill also clarifies that the City Council and City Manager cannot authorize expenditures beyond the budget approved by voters. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
