NJmunigov A CharterStudyCommission 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 charterstudycommission approach is only available under the Faulkner Act New Jersey Faulkner Act . A charterstudycommission can be elected, most often when residents are dissatisfied with the existing form of government, but there is no agreement as to what new form should be implemented. A ballot question to form a charterstudycommission 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 charterstudycommission can recommend that the municipality change to one of the Faulkner Act New Jersey Faulkner Act forms of government, a choice that must be ratified by the voters within the municipality. The charterstudycommission also may recommend a Special Charter New Jersey Special Charter , with further action being required, but the studycommission by the New Jersey Legislature to approve the recommended variant form of government. Some municipal governments have appointed a charterstudy committee in contrast to the charterstudycommission . A charterstudy committee operates on a purely advisory basis. While it may perform the same research functions as a commission, a committee cannot place its recommendations on the ballot, but must do so via the petition method.

The Philippine Commission gave the city of Manila its charter in 1901, while the city of Baguio was established ...A city charter or town charter generically, municipal charter is a legal document establishing a municipality such as a city or town . The concept developed in Europe during the middle ages . Traditionally the granting of a charter gave a settlement and its inhabitants the right to town privileges under the feudal system. Townspeople who lived in chartered towns were Bourgeoisie burghers , as opposed to serfs who lived in villages. Towns were often free , in the sense that they were directly protected by the king or emperor, and were not part of a feudal Fiefdom fief . Today the process for granting charters is determined by the type of government of the state in question. In monarchies, charters are still often a royal charter given by the Crown or the state authorities acting on behalf of the Crown.
