NYC Charter Revision Commissions

This website provides key documents from several recent charter revision commissions. The New York City Charter defines the organization, functions, and essential procedures and policies of our City government. Charter revision commissions are temporary commissions that review the entire Charter and put any proposals for its amendment before the voters. A charter revision commission may propose a broad set of amendments that essentially “overhauls” the entire Charter, or may narrowly focus its proposals on certain areas.
