MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify the definition of a municipality, removing 'any other municipal corporation' to strictly limit eligibility to cities, towns, and villages. Additionally, the amendment requires the governing board of any municipality joining the plan to adopt a formal resolution consenting to the arrangement, adding a layer of official approval before the county can file certification.
Scope change
The scope of eligible entities was narrowed by removing vague language, and the eligibility process was made more rigorous by adding a mandatory consent resolution requirement for municipalities.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'municipality' was changed from a broad list including 'any other municipal corporation' to a specific list of only cities, towns, and villages.
REQUIREMENT
A new requirement was added mandating that the governing board of a municipality must adopt a resolution indicating consent before the county can proceed with filing certification.
