§ 55. Change from one alternative form of county government to
another. A county operating under an alternative form of county
government may, after the lapse of three years from the date such form
becomes effective in the county, abandon its then existing form and
adopt another alternative form of county government authorized by this
chapter, and such change shall become effective at the time provided in
subdivision five of section six hundred fifty-six. No such question
shall be submitted more often than once in every four years. All of the
provisions of this chapter relating to initiating a proceeding for the
adoption of an alternative form of county government and to the
submission and approval of the question shall apply also to a change
from one alternative form of county government to another as authorized
in this section. The question shall be in substantially the following
form: "Shall the county of (name of county) abandon its present form of
county government and adopt the (name of form) of government?"
