§ 23712 County Charter Ratification Process

• •If most people vote 'yes' on a new county rule (charter), it gets approved.
• •The new rule doesn’t start right away—it needs to be officially accepted and filed by the state first.
• •The state has a special process (Section 23713) to make the rule official.

Your county votes on a new rule to change how local schools are funded.

If most people vote 'yes,' the rule is approved but won’t start until the state checks and files it.
