An act relating to approval of amendments to the charter of the City of Essex Junction

This bill formalizes amendments to the City of Essex Junction's charter that were previously approved by local voters in April 2023. The changes include stricter conflict of interest rules for city council members, who are now prohibited from holding city employment during their term and must wait one year before taking other compensated municipal roles. The bill also establishes a new one-year Moderator position to preside over annual meetings and clarifies the timing for scheduling annual council meetings and elections. Once signed into law, these provisions will update the official city charter to reflect the voters' decisions.
