CO. COMM.: SPECIAL MEETING H.B. 5129 (H-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 5129 (Substitute H-1 as reported without amendment) Sponsor: Representative Charles Perricone
House Committee: Local Government Senate Committee: Government Operations
The bill would amend Public Act 156 of 1851, which prescribes the powers and duties of county boards of commissioners, to provide that, regarding the holding of a special meeting by a county board of commissioners, the county clerk would have to give notice of the meeting to each commissioner in the manner required by the bylaws or rules of the board. If the bylaws or rules of the board did not specify the manner for giving notice, the clerk would have to give the notice to the commissioners as specified currently in the Act.
Under the Act, a special meeting of a county board of commissioners must be held when at least one-third of the board’s members request a meeting in writing. Upon receiving the request the clerk must give notice in writing to each of the commissioners by: causing the notice to be delivered to each commissioner personally; leaving notice at the commissioner’s residence; or mailing a copy of the notice by certified mail to each commissioner’s address, at least 10 days before the meeting.
