A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5022 AS INTRODUCED 8-13-03
House Bill 5022 would amend Public Act 33 of 1951, which provides for police and fire protection in townships, villages, and small cities having a population of under 15,000 people, to specify that the members of a police or fire administrative board, or the members of a board that combines the administrative functions for both police and fire protection, may be compensated a per diem as determined by the township board, as well as be entitled to actual and necessary expenses. Currently under the law, the members of the board must serve without compensation but are entitled to actual and necessary expenses approved by the township board incurred in the performance of official duties.
