AI Summary
This bill amends the Municipal Home Rule Law to authorize a permissive referendum where a local government's legislative body is amending or adopting local laws to increase taxes, fines, fees, or surcharges under the authority granted by the state legislature. This means that local residents would have the option to petition for a public vote on such changes, rather than the legislative body being able to enact them directly.
