Hazleton's Government Study Commission met on November 18, 2025, to initiate a home rule charter drafting process that would shift municipal governance from state code to locally-adopted charter. The commission will address major drafting issues including determining the form of government—whether to retain the current structure, mirror optional plans from state law (executive/council plans A, B, C or council/manager), or create a hybrid form—while balancing fiscal flexibility with fiscal responsibility. Basic charter components under consideration include grants of municipal powers, government organization and structure, legislative and administrative procedures, citizen participation mechanisms, administrative practice mandates (merit personnel systems, capital budgeting, auditing), and general provisions. PEL (Pennsylvania Educator's League or equivalent consulting entity) will guide the drafting process through reviewing the current form, presenting single-issue questions for deliberation, offering guidance, and translating commission decisions into charter sections after straw votes on each item. The charter will follow four style guidelines—clarity, consistency, conciseness, and correctness—with language drawn from applicable state codes where applicable.
