The Hazleton City Government Study Commission issued questions for consideration regarding legislative body qualifications, oath requirements, and conflict-of-interest prohibitions, intended to gauge consensus among elected officials in January 2026. Current qualifications require city residency for at least one year before election and a minimum age of eighteen years; the Pennsylvania Economy League recommends extending residency to two or three years. Current policy requires an oath of office with no set format; the Commission recommends a standardized oath and making failure to take it grounds for forfeiture of the seat. Current prohibitions bar council members from holding federal, state, or county offices, school district positions within the city, or any city employment; the document does not specify whether the Commission recommends changes to these restrictions.
