TOWNSHIP PARK COMMISSION - S.B. 336 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 336 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Bill Bullard, Jr.
Committee: Government Operations
CONTENT
The bill 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 under Section 6 of Public 157 of 1905.
Public Act 157 provides for the acquisition and control of township parks, and the creation of township park commissions; Section 6 of the Act requires that six members be elected to a township park commission.
The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4011, which would amend Public Act 157 to require that an elected township park commission have an odd number of members; but not less than five or more than nine, as determined by the township board.
