Cities: home rule; election of charter commission: modify timeline requirements. Amends sec. 18 of 1909 PA 279 (MCL 117.18).

This bill modifies Michigan's Home Rule City Act to change the timeline for electing charter commissions in cities that vote to revise their local charters. Specifically, it extends the deadline for electing these commissions from 60 days to 200 days after a city approves a charter revision. The legislation also clarifies that if a proposed charter is rejected by voters, the commission can choose to continue working on amendments before resubmitting the plan, but it limits the total number of times a charter can be voted on to three. Additionally, the bill allows cities to include advisory votes on government structure changes alongside the main charter revision question.
