BROWNFIELD AUTHORITY BOARD - S.B. 271: FLOOR ANALYSIS

Senate Bill 271 (as reported without amendment)

Committee: Economic Development, International Trade and Regulatory Affairs

CONTENT

The bill would amend Public Act 566 of 1978, which prohibits the holding of incompatible public offices, to permit a public officer or public employee of a city, village, township, school district, community college district, or county to serve as a member of the board of a brownfield redevelopment authority.

Under the Act, except as otherwise provided, a public officer or public employee may not hold two or more incompatible offices at the same time.

"Public employee" means an employee of this State, an employee of a city, village, township, or county of this State, or an employee of a department, board, agency, institution, commission, authority, division, council, college, university, school district, intermediate school district, special district, or other public entity of this State or of a city, village, township, or county in this State.)
