Michigan HB6221 revises procedures for annexing charter townships to contiguous cities or villages.

Michigan HB6221 amends the procedures for annexing charter townships to contiguous cities or villages. It modifies the criteria for annexation, including the requirement for a petition signed by 20% of registered electors in the area to be annexed and approval by a majority of qualified electors. The bill also specifies conditions under which a charter township can be exempt from annexation, such as having a state equalized valuation of at least $25 million and a minimum population density of 150 persons per square mile.
