MI HB5666

Replaces the grounds for gubernatorial removal of county officers, city officers, township officers, and village officers from "official misconduct, willful neglect of duty, extortion, or habitual drunkenness" to "gross neglect of duty, corrupt conduct in office, or any other misfeasance or malfeasance in office."

Requires the governor to review charges within 60 days and notify the individual who made the charges of the determination, rather than allowing discretionary action.

Clarifies procedures for serving charges on officers, including personal service if the officer can be found, or service by leaving copies with a suitable person at their residence, or posting at their residence if no suitable person is available.

Allows the governor to suspend or remove officers and requires the officer be given an opportunity to respond to charges before removal or suspension.

Maintains the 3-year ineligibility period for removed officers from election or appointment to any office.
