MI HB4116

Governmental units and state officers must submit cross-boundary memoranda of agreement to the attorney general before execution, including the agreement text and a preliminary legal review.

For agreements determined to be legally binding or enforceable, a full written review must address state and federal constitutional requirements and the statutory authority of the executing department or agency.

Executed agreements must be filed with the office of the great seal within 10 days, with a copy sent to the attorney general.

The office of the great seal must establish and maintain a publicly accessible internet repository of all cross-boundary agreements by September 1, 2012, with all existing binding agreements filed by September 1, 2014.

The requirements do not apply to records prohibited from disclosure by law, privileged communications, or documents exempt under the Freedom of Information Act.
