Representative Postals presented House Bill 476 on June 30, a town charter change for Frederica that would: (1) reduce council meetings from twice monthly to once monthly, and (2) make enacted ordinances effective immediately unless the ordinance states otherwise.
Committee members asked about the senate sponsor and noted the measure requires a two‑thirds vote; Representative Postals said the charter change came from the town and that he did not have a reason the senate sponsor was not present. Staff reported no in‑person registrants for public comment and no virtual hands were raised.
There was no substantive debate on the merits of the charter change during the session and no vote was taken.
