HB 6013 Summary

• Amends the Municipal Authority Act (1955 PA 233) to update public notice requirements for municipal sewage, water supply, and solid waste management authorities.

• Changes publication requirements: before January 1, 2015, notices must be published in newspapers; beginning January 1, 2015, notices must use "Tier B public notice" with links as defined in the Local Government Public Notice Act.

• Updates language throughout the act to reference "the" instead of "such" or "said," modernizes verb tenses, and clarifies that articles of incorporation become effective upon filing rather than using conditional language.

• Requires amendments to articles of incorporation and municipal contracts to be published or posted and certified in the same manner as original articles, with amendments certified by the authority's recording officer.

• Makes the act dependent on passage of HB 5560 or a related Senate Bill for its effectiveness.
