HOUSE BILL NO. 5258

     A bill to amend 1981 PA 230, entitled

"Michigan economic and social opportunity act of 1981,"

by amending section 11 (MCL 400.1111), as amended by 2003 PA 123.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

     Sec. 11. (1) A community action agency shall establish a

governing board of directors that consists of the following:

     (a) One-third are elected public officials. An elected public

official may act through his or her representative.

     (b) One-third of the members are low income, elderly, or

consumers with disabilities.

     (c) One-third of the members represent the private sector,

including representatives of business and industry, agriculture,

labor, and religious and civic organizations.

     (2) A community action agency may establish term limits for

members of its board of directors in the community action agency's

bylaws. An administrative rule that purports to establish term

limits for a member of a community action agency board of directors

is void.
