New York A10471 amends the municipal home rule law to require mayors to confirm charter commissions and their appointments within 60 days of taking.

New York A10471, known as the Election-Related Requirements for Initiating Charter Commissions (ERIC) Act, amends the municipal home rule law. It mandates that the continued existence of a charter commission and its appointments depend on confirmation by the mayor in office on the first day of January following the commission's creation. Exceptions apply for mayors assuming office between November 4, 2025, and the act's effective date. Failure to confirm within 60 days results in the commission's expiration and nullifies all appointments and proposed charter revisions.
