HB 6240 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Cities: boards and commissions; attendance requirements for board members; provide for. Amends 1909 PA 279 (MCL 117.1 - 117.38) by adding sec. 3c.

Michigan House Bill 6240 establishes attendance requirements for members of city legislative bodies, such as city councils. If a member misses more than 50% of regular meetings during any 12-month period, they become subject to removal from office for willful neglect of duty under state election law. The bill provides specific exceptions where absence is excused, including military service, temporary medical conditions supported by written documentation, or leave permitted by federal law. Additionally, a city's legislative body may vote to excuse an absence due to extraordinary circumstances, and the city clerk must notify members if their attendance drops below 60%.
