Athens - Subject to local approval, sets a term limit of three terms for members of the city council; specifies the emergency management powers of the mayor; changes references from "councilman" to "councilperson". - Amends Chapter 455 of the Private Acts of 1953; as amended.

This bill establishes a three-term limit for members of the Athens City Council, starting with the 2024 and 2026 elections, while excluding any mid-term appointed terms from that count. It also grants the mayor the authority to assume emergency management powers during crises, aligning those powers with state law. Additionally, the legislation updates official city titles by replacing the gendered term "councilman" with the gender-neutral "councilperson." Finally, the bill requires a two-thirds vote by the Athens City Council to take effect, ensuring local approval before the changes are implemented.
