MI HB5944

Amends the County Charter Act to modify requirements for county board of commissioners, changing the size range from a variable 5-27 members depending on population to a uniform 5-21 members across all counties.

Adds exception to partisan election requirement for county officers (sheriff, prosecuting attorney, county clerk, county treasurer, register of deeds) by referencing section 192a of the Michigan Election Law, potentially allowing nonpartisan elections under certain circumstances.

Clarifies that county road commissions in counties with 1.5 million or more population must have members representing specific geographic areas: one from the most populous city, one from another city, and one from a township.

Includes enacting clauses specifying the act takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent on passage of related legislation (HB 5943).

Makes minor technical corrections regarding hyphenation and pronoun usage throughout the section.
