A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILLS 5365 AND 5366 AS INTRODUCED 12-10-03
House Bill 5365 would repeal Local Act 653 of 1905, which requires that all officers, appointees, and servants elected by the board of supervisors of Saginaw County be elected by viva voce vote. (As regards voting, the term viva voce, according to Black’s Law Dictionary, “signifies voting by speech or outcry as distinguished from voting by a written or printed ballot”.)
House Bill 5366 would repeal Local Act 540 of 1903, which established a board of county auditors for Saginaw County and prescribed its powers and duties and the nature of its operations.
