MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE

HB 4830 (Miller)

The bill amends Public Act 283 of 1909 to lower the population threshold for a county to be eligible to reorganize the duties of a road commission to another entity from 1,500,000 to 750,000. The bill further allows an eligible county to make such a transfer in the process of adopting a charter, rather than amending a charter that is already in place, provided that voters in the county approve both the charter and a separate ballot question to reorganize the road commission.

• The House concurred in the Senate substitute S-5 [RC 284: 66 yes, 40 no]
