AN ACT to amend Chapter 55 of the Private Acts of 1993; as amended by Chapter 134 of the Private Acts of 1998; and any other acts amendatory thereto, relative to the City of Bartlett.
Impact
The introduction of term limits is a significant aspect of HB 1432, as it will affect the current structure of local governance in Bartlett. This legislative change will not only influence the longevity of current officials but also encourage the participation of new candidates in elections. Alongside this, the bill mandates that any sitting elected official wishing to run for a different position must resign from their current role, streamlining the process and ensuring candidates commit fully to their new roles without dual obligations.
Summary
House Bill 1432 aims to amend the charter of the City of Bartlett, primarily focusing on the election process of the Mayor and Aldermen. It establishes non-partisan, at-large elections held in November, with each elected official serving a four-year term. Importantly, the bill introduces term limits, capping service at three consecutive terms for both the Mayor and Aldermen positions. These changes are designed to promote democratic fairness and prevent the entrenchment of political offices within the local government.
Contention
While proponents advocate that these changes foster democratic practices and accountability, some may view the resignation requirement as a potential deterrent for officials considering new roles. Additionally, the implementation of such amendments necessitates a two-thirds majority approval from the legislative body of Bartlett, which may incite discussion regarding the practicality and acceptance of these adjustments within the local government framework.
