Counties: boards and commissions; county apportionment commission; modify, and modify number of county commissioner districts. Amends secs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8 of 1966 PA 261 (MCL 46.401 et seq.).
This bill modifies the Michigan law governing county apportionment commissions, which are responsible for drawing district lines for county boards of commissioners. The primary change involves adjusting the number of districts within these commissions to align with updated population data or structural requirements. By amending specific sections of the existing apportionment act, the legislation alters how county commissioner districts are defined and managed. This update directly affects county officials and residents by changing the geographic boundaries used to elect local representatives. The bill was passed by the House with immediate effect and is now being reviewed by the Committee on Government Operations.
