TOWNSHIP PARK COMMISSION - H.B. 4011 (H-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS

House Bill 4011 (Substitute H-1 as reported with amendment)

Sponsor: Representative Marc Shulman

House Committee: Local Government and Urban Policy

Senate Committee: Local, Urban and State Affairs


CONTENT


The bill would amend the Public Act 157 of 1905, which provides for the creation of township park commissions, to require that a park commission have five, seven, or nine members, as determined by the township board; require a township board to increase or decrease a park commission's membership to conform with the bill; and, provide for the appointment of additional members.


The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 336, which would amend the Michigan Election Law to delete a requirement that six township park commissioners be elected to a township park commission, and provide instead that the number of township park commissioners elected would be determined as provided in Public Act 157.
