§ 23708 County Charter Commission Duties

Key Takeaways

  • •A group called the 'charter commission' has to write and suggest rules (a charter) for the county.
  • •Most of the group members must sign the rules they wrote.
  • •They have to make two copies of these rules.
  • •One copy goes to the county clerk's office, and the other goes to the county recorder's office.

Example

Imagine your school's student council writes new rules for the school.

Just like the student council writes rules and everyone on the council signs them, the charter commission writes rules for the county, and most of the members sign them. Then, they make two copies and give one to the county clerk and one to the county recorder.
