Bill > SB0693

This bill amends a 1947 law concerning charter townships to change the timing of elections related to township consolidations. Specifically, it revises the law to require that elections on the question of consolidation must be held on or before May 1st of a general election year, and that the election for the consolidated township board will now occur at the May primary election instead of the August primary election. The bill also adjusts the effective date of a consolidation from November 20th to December 1st. The term "PA" refers to Public Act, which is a law passed by the Michigan Legislature, and "MCL" stands for Michigan Compiled Laws, which is the official compilation of Michigan's statutory laws. This bill is contingent on another bill, Senate Bill 0691 of the 103rd Legislature, also becoming law.
