Applies to charter revision commissions in cities with populations of one million or more, allowing commissions to have 9-17 members instead of the standard 9-15 member range.

Requires the mayor to appoint commission members nominated by the Comptroller, Public Advocate, Borough Presidents (jointly), and each Borough Council delegation, with members selected for independence, integrity, and government experience.

Prohibits commission members from being current city officers or employees, political party officers, registered lobbyists, or making campaign contributions to candidates for public office during their tenure; members must comply with city conflicts of interest provisions.

Prevents commissions created after February 15 from placing ballot proposals until the following calendar year unless approved by the local legislative body at least 90 days before the general election.

Requires charter amendment proposals to be separately identified on the ballot for individual voter consideration to the maximum extent practicable; applies retroactively to commissions created on or after January 1, 2010, and terminates non-compliant existing commissions.
