2006 House Bill 5885 / Public Act 464

Revise municipal planning procedures

Introduced in the House

March 16, 2006

Introduced by Rep. John Stakoe (R-44)

To delete the requirement that a copy of comments on a land use plan proposed by a township, city, or village must be submitted to the affected county. The bill would also eliminate a requirement that the county commission must submit comments on a local government's proposed plan to the local government within 75 to 95 days after receiving a proposed plan, and instead allow (but not require) it to comment, but within 63 days. These changes amend <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2001-HB-5267">Public Act 265 of 2001</a>, which requires a municipality adopting a land use master plan to provide notice to other contiguous jurisdictions.
