Villages: boards and commissions; attendance requirements for board members; provide for. Amends 1895 PA 3 (MCL 61.1 - 74.25) by adding sec. 4a to ch. V.

Michigan House Bill 6239 amends the General Law Village Act to establish attendance requirements for village council members, subjecting those who miss more than 50% of regular meetings within a 12-month period to removal for willful neglect of duty. The bill defines regular meetings as those designated before the start of the calendar year or added by existing ordinance, and it excludes absences caused by military service, documented medical conditions, or leave permitted by federal law from counting toward the total. Village clerks are required to send written notice to members who reach a 40% absence threshold and must file removal charges if the member subsequently exceeds the 50% limit. Additionally, the legislation grants village clerks civil liability immunity for actions taken in good faith while administering these attendance rules.
