CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Economic and Social Opportunity Act to specify that a community action agency could establish term limits for members of its board, and that an administrative rule establishing such term limits would be void.
The Act requires a community action agency to establish a board of directors as follows: One third of the members must be elected public officials; one third must be low income, elderly, or consumers with disabilities; and one third must represent the private sector, including representatives of business and industry, agriculture, labor, and religious and civic organizations.
Under the bill, a community action agency could establish term limits in the agency's bylaws for members of its board of directors. An administrative rule that purported to establish term limits for a member of a community action agency board of directors would be void.
