Villages: boards and commissions; attendance requirements for board members; provide for. Amends 1909 PA 278 (MCL 78.1 - 78.28) by adding sec. 23a.

This bill establishes attendance requirements for members of village legislative bodies in Michigan by allowing their removal from office for willful neglect of duty if they miss more than 50% of regular meetings within a 12-month period. The legislation defines which absences count toward this total and provides specific exemptions for members who are absent due to military service, documented temporary medical conditions, or leave permitted by federal law. It also allows village boards to excuse absences caused by extraordinary circumstances through a majority vote at a public meeting. Village clerks are required to send written notice to members who reach 40% absence and must submit formal charges if the threshold for removal is exceeded, with any resulting vacancy filled according to the village's charter.
