What is a Home Rule Petition?
In Massachusetts, cities have limited powers under state law. A Home Rule Petition is a request from a city for a new type of power from the state legislature—for example, the power to enact a new tax or regulation, or an exemption from an aspect of state law.If a proposed Home Rule Petition is passed locally, the city government sends the bill to its State Representatives and State Senators, who seek to pass it in the legislature as a state law that would only affect the one municipality.

Personally, I would use both the Spanish and English - Petición de Autonomía” (Home Rule Petition), as it appears to be particular to Massachusetts.
