Special committee on charter reform
We review the structure of the City’s government, as it is set up in the Boston City Charter and other special acts.
What does the City Charter include? The modern charter is made up of:
- parts of Chapter 486 of the Acts of 1909 approved by Massachusetts General Court
- amendments made through Chapter 452 of the Acts of 1948, and
- Chapter 376 of the Acts of 1951.
