| 3. The bill also makes it clear that elections or a |
| referendum are only required in the event that the provisions of |
| a charter of a city, town or plantation require such election or |
| referendum. The bill also indicates that, in those instances |
| where a city, town or plantation has a charter with provisions |
| relevant to the vote being taken under the private and special |
| law, those charter provisions determine whether the vote must be |
| taken at a council meeting, town or plantation meeting or through |
| a city, town or plantation election or referendum. |
