Michigan HB5961 revises procedures for village annexations, including notice requirements and referendum processes.

Michigan HB5961 amends the home rule village act to revise procedures for village annexations. It mandates that property owners in the proposed annexation area receive notice at least 60 days before a public hearing and 30 days before the hearing if they are within 300 feet of the area. The bill also requires the state boundary commission to send a certified copy of its order to affected clerks and the secretary of state. If an annexation is approved and fewer than 100 people reside in the area, a referendum is not required.
