MI SB0369

Removes the requirement that school site plans be located within a city or village for local government approval, extending this requirement to all school building construction and expansion projects.

Requires public school governing boards to obtain approval from the local unit of government before building or expanding school buildings, with the local unit having 60 days to respond to the submitted site plan.

Establishes that if the local unit of government does not respond within 60 days, the governing board is deemed to have received approval; if suggested changes are provided, the governing board has 45 days to respond with a revised plan or explanation.

Limits fees charged by local units of government to a maximum of $250 for administrative review or $1,500 for total costs incurred for the specific project.

Requires the superintendent of public instruction to approve site plans only if they meet all requirements and recommendations of department bulletin 412.
