§ 23702 Charter Petition Requirements

• •If you want to create or change a city or county's rules (called a 'charter'), you have to follow special steps.
• •The steps you must follow are listed in another part of the law (starting at Section 9100).
• •This rule has been the same since 1995.

A group of people in a town want to change how their town government works.

They can't just change the rules on their own. They have to follow the steps in Section 9100, like getting enough signatures on a petition.
