Abstract

(SB0241 · 103rd Legislature) Elections: local; term of office for elected officials; modify. Amends 1909 PA 278 (MCL 78.1 - 78.28) by adding sec. 24e. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4358’25, HB 4359’25, SB 0240’25 Latest action (2026-06-23): Assigned Pa 0020’26 With Immediate Effect

Why this matters

Term-of-office rules determine how often local voters choose their city officials and when clerks must run those elections, so amendments to the Home Rule City Act directly shape the local election calendar. Because SB 0241 is tie-barred to three companion bills, its practical effect depends on the package moving together, and clerks will need to watch the full bundle rather than any single bill in isolation.
