Townships: boards and commissions; attendance requirements for township board members; provide for. Amends 1846 RS 16 (MCL 41.1a - 41.110c) by adding sec. 70a.

Michigan House Bill 6241 establishes attendance requirements for township board members, allowing for their removal from office if they miss more than 50% of regular meetings within any 12-month period. The bill defines specific exemptions where absences do not count against the member, including military service, temporary medical conditions supported by documentation, or extraordinary circumstances approved by a majority vote of the board. Township clerks are required to notify members who reach a 40% absence threshold and must submit formal charges for willful neglect of duty if the removal criteria are met. Any resulting vacancy on the township board would be filled according to existing state election laws.
