MI HB6446

Requires all metropolitan district elections to be administered under Michigan election law (1954 PA 116) and held on regular election dates established under section 641 of the Michigan election law, effective upon enactment of the bill.

Removes language allowing nomination of district officers and eliminates provisions regarding election procedures and voter registration from charter requirements, keeping only requirements for election or appointment of officers and their terms.

Changes the minimum waiting period for charter amendment elections from 30-40 days to 70 days after proposal or petition filing before the next regular election date.

Requires the first district election to be held on a regular election date as established under the Michigan election law rather than allowing flexible scheduling.

Removes provisions allowing charter commissions to nominate candidates for first elective officers and conduct special elections, streamlining the election process to use established state election procedures.

Makes the bill effective only if House Bill 6447 of the 95th Legislature is also enacted into law.
