The Charter Commission’s mandate shall be to frame charter amendments for submission to the qualified voters. In order to fulfill this duty, the Charter Commission shall solicit input from the public and from experts, publish a draft set of proposed charter amendments not more than 10 months into its term, and hold at least one public hearing before and after the publication of the draft proposed charter amendments. The draft of proposed charter amendments shall be made publicly available no less than two weeks prior to the required public hearing.
In accordance with the provisions of the Missouri Constitution, proposed amendments shall be submitted to the qualified voters for approval, which amendments shall go into effect subject to a three-fifths vote in favor.
