ENROLLED HOUSE BILL No. 5258

AN ACT to amend 1981 PA 230, entitled "An act to create a bureau of community services and a commission on economic and social opportunity within a state department to reduce the causes, conditions, and effects of poverty and promote social and economic opportunities that foster self-sufficiency for low income persons; to provide for the designation of community action agencies; and to prescribe the powers and duties of the department, the bureau, the commission, and the community action agencies," 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.

This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
