MI HB6372

Expands historic district commission member qualifications to include individuals who "own or lease real property" within the local unit, in addition to those who reside there.

Changes reference from "citizens" to "individuals" when describing those submitted by local historic preservation organizations for commission appointments.

Applies the requirement for appointing architect members to "a commission" rather than "all local units," clarifying that commissions of all sizes should include an architect if available.

Requires architect members to be either graduates of accredited architecture schools with 2 years of experience or registered architects in Michigan.

Exempts historic district commissions established by charter or by ordinance before August 3, 1970 from the architectural membership requirement.
