House Bill 6005 (Substitute H-1 as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative Jerry O. Kooiman
House Committee: Local Government and Urban Policy
Senate Committee: Government Operations
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Election Law to allow a village council, by a two-thirds vote, to provide by ordinance for the election of all village trustees in the same election for two-year terms at the first possible election after 2004. The bill would require publication of a notice, at least 10 days in advance, of each meeting at which an ordinance to change the time of an election of the trustees comprising the council would be considered.
Presently, the Election Law provides for two-year (as well as four-year) staggered terms for village trustees.
