Bill > HB24

This bill amends the Charter of the Town of Delmar in two significant ways. First, it reduces the residency requirement for voting in municipal elections from six months to 30 days, allowing more residents to participate in local elections. The bill also establishes the State's Voter Registration System as the official source of voter lists, while reserving the town's right to remove names of individuals who have moved away, no longer own property in the town, or are otherwise ineligible to vote. Second, the bill increases the Town Council's authority to issue bonds from $1 million to $10 million through a resolution process. This expansion allows the town more financial flexibility for municipal projects and investments, with the requirement that any bond issuance be approved by at least a majority of Town Council members and include details such as the purpose, amount, and terms of the bonds. These changes aim to modernize the town's electoral and financial procedures, making them more accessible and adaptable to current needs.
