MI SB0222

Amends the Recreational Authorities Act (2000 PA 321) to expand the definition of "municipality" to include school districts in addition to cities, counties, villages, and townships.

Allows school districts to participate in the establishment and operation of recreational authorities alongside traditional municipal entities.

Defines key terms for recreational authorities including "authority," "board," "park," "electors," and "territory of the authority."

Defines "park" to include recreational areas, open or scenic space, and environmental or conservation areas with specific examples such as playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming areas, and nature preserves.

Establishes that a "participating municipality" (now including school districts) can join in the original establishment of an authority or be added to existing authorities through amendments to articles of incorporation.
