ELECTED OFFICIAL TERM OF OFFICE H.B. 5998: FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 5998 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative Ann Jamnick
House Committee: Local Government and Urban Policy
Senate Committee: Government Operations
CONTENT
The bill would amend a provision of the Michigan Election Law concerning the term of office of an official elected before recent amendments to Sections 642 and 642a (which govern the regular election dates of cities, villages, townships, and school districts). Presently, if the date for holding a jurisdiction's regular election was changed as a result of these amendments, the term of an official elected before the effective date of the change continues until a successor is elected and qualified at the next regular election "following the date the official's term would have ended but for the change of the day of the jurisdiction's regular election". The bill would remove the quoted language.
