Everything about Charter Study Commission totally explained
A
Charter Study Commission is one of two options available to residents of
New Jersey to pursue a change in their form of government. The other option is a direct petition. The charter study commission approach is only available under the
Faulkner Act.
A charter study commission can be elected, most often when residents are dissatisfied with the existing form of government, but there's no agreement as to what new form should be implemented.
A ballot question to form a charter study commission can be performed through a petition or by the existing municipal governing body enacting an ordinance to form a commission. Voters simultaneously vote yes / no to form a commission and also vote to select its members (if it passes), with the top five candidates becoming the members of the commission.
A charter study commission can recommend that the municipality change to one of the
Faulkner Act forms of government, a choice that must be ratified by the voters within the municipality. The charter study commission also may recommend a
Special Charter, with further action being required, but the study commission by the
New Jersey Legislature to approve the recommended variant form of government.
Some municipal governments have appointed a charter study
committee (in contrast to the charter study
commission). A charter study committee operates on a purely advisory basis. While it may perform the same research functions as a commission, a committee can't place its recommendations on the ballot, but must do so via the petition method.
