Introduced

To require that before a state agency or a local government enters a cross-border memorandum of understanding, agreement, compact, or similar binding agreement with the federal government or another state, it must perform a review to determine that the agreement does not exceed its authority or violate the state constitution. Information on each agreement would also be forwarded to the Attorney General (who would not be required to do anything with it) and posted on a state web site. Existing agreements that are legally binding and still in effect would also have to be posted on this state website. The bill was introduced after Gov. Rick Snyder’s surprise veto of House Bill 4116, a nearly identical bill that passed the legislature with no votes in opposition.
Referred to the Committee on Oversight, Reform, and Ethics
Reported without amendment
