Villages: annexation; procedures to approve annexation petition; revise. Amends secs. 6 & 6a, ch XIV of 1895 PA 3 (MCL 74.6 & 74.6a) & adds sec. 6b to ch. XIV. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1025'26

This bill updates Michigan laws to clarify and streamline the procedures for villages to annex or detach land. It establishes new rules for who can start an annexation process, allowing it to begin through a petition from landowners, a petition from residents, or a village council resolution. The legislation also sets specific requirements for public notice and hearings, ensuring property owners are informed before any boundary changes are approved. Additionally, the bill introduces a referendum requirement for annexations involving more than 100 residents, while exempting smaller annexations from this vote.
