AN ACT RELATING TO INCORPORATE THE BONNET SHORES FIRE DISTRICT

This bill updates the charter for the Bonnet Shores Fire District to clarify who is eligible to vote and to ban proxy voting, requiring all residents to cast their ballots in person. It establishes that voters must be registered residents of the Town of Narragansett and allows for absentee or early voting methods only if approved by the district council, provided these methods do not let one person vote for another. The legislation also outlines the district's structure, including the election of officers like a clerk and council members, while ensuring that any future changes to the district's rules must be approved by a majority of voters at a special meeting.
