NOTICE OF PUBLIC INPUT SESSION

The New York City Charter Revision Commission (“CRC”) will host Public Input Sessions in all five boroughs to discuss proposed changes to the New York City Charter. The CRC is empowered to consider revisions to the Charter for presentation to the voters at the November 4, 2025 general election, or at another designated election date pursuant to law.

What is this Public Input Session about?

The Charter provides the structure of City government and set outs key powers of City elected officials and agencies. After a review of the entire Charter, the CRC may recommend changes intended to help City government work more efficiently and better serve all New Yorkers.

The primary topic of this public hearing will be "Government Reform." The CRC will hear from panels of invited experts, followed by general testimony from the public.

The public is invited to hear from experts, testify about any matter of importance to City government, and to suggest changes to the Charter. You can find out more about the New York City Charter Revision Commission by visiting us at our website: www.nyc.gov/charter.

Who can give input?

These meetings are open to the public, and the public will have the opportunity to testify before members of the CRC. Any member of the public may testify about their ideas for improving the City Charter for up to three (3) minutes. The CRC will hear testimony from people who attend the meeting in person and from people who attend by Zoom. The CRC will hear testimony from individuals who appear in person before hearing testimony from those attending via Zoom. A group, organization or institution wishing to testify shall select a single designated representative. New Yorkers from any of the five boroughs may testify. The CRC will attempt to accommodate everyone who signs up to speak at this hearing, but if time does not permit all testimony to be heard, the public is encouraged to utilize other opportunities to testify, including by testifying at subsequent public input sessions of the CRC or by submitting written testimony to CharterTestimony@citycharter.nyc.gov.

How do I submit written testimony?

The public may submit written testimony to CharterTestimony@citycharter.nyc.gov instead of or in addition to testifying live at a hearing.

When and where are the hearings?

Doors open to the public, and each Input Session may be accessed virtually via the Zoom link posted to www.nyc.gov/charter, at the following dates, times, and locations:

Monday, February 24, 2025, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
