The bill would amend Public Act 33 of 1951, which provides for police and fire protection in townships and villages, and in cities with a population under 15,000, to allow township police and fire administrative board members to receive per diem compensation as determined by the township board, as well as actual and necessary expenses.
The Act authorizes a township board to create a police administrative board, a fire administrative board, or a police and fire administrative board. Members currently serve without compensation but are entitled to necessary and actual expenses.
