CONTENT
The bill would amend Public Act 282 of 1945, which provides for county planning commissions, to require the appointment of a public school board member or an administrative employee of a school district to a planning commission.
Under the Act, a county planning commission must consist of at least five but not more than 11 members, representing the economic, governmental, social, and developmental interests of the county. The county board of commissioners must establish the basis for representative membership on the commission. The bill would add "educational" to the interests that planning commission members may represent.
The bill would require the county board of commissioners to appoint to the county planning commission one member of a public school board or an administrative employee of a school district included, entirely or partly, within the county's boundaries. This appointment would have to be made upon the first vacancy occurring after the bill's effective date.
