§ 1303. Charter review.

The charter review commission shall consist of the same number of persons and shall be appointed in the same manner as shall be provided by general law for the appointment of charter commissions in counties without charters. The commission shall be appointed at least once every ten (10) years to review the charter and ordinances of the county. The commission shall be appointed not more than eighteen (18) months prior to the next succeeding general election. The commission shall be funded by the council and shall be known as the "county charter review commission." It shall, within one (1) year from the date of its first meeting, present to the council any recommendations for amendment of the charter. After receipt of the charter review commission's recommendations, the council shall conduct a series of not less than three (3) public hearings on the recommended changes to the charter and shall thereafter schedule a referendum on the proposed charter amendment at the next general election.
