Relates to when a referendum is required when a village has provided that village elections shall occur on the same day as the general election
This bill clarifies the rules for holding referendums in villages that choose to hold their elections on the same day as the general election. It specifies that if a local law or resolution requires a mandatory referendum, the process must follow the procedures outlined in the municipal home rule law. Additionally, it states that actions subject to a permissive referendum will be decided through a petition process as defined in the same law. The changes apply immediately to villages that have already established election dates aligned with general elections.
