Summary
The bill lets a city’s governing body propose charter changes by ordinance, require a public hearing and publish notice, and adopt the changes automatically if no qualified voter objects. If objections are filed, the amendment must be placed on a regular or specially‑called municipal election for voter approval. It aims to simplify charter revisions while preserving public input.
