Michigan HB6239 sets attendance requirements for village council members and outlines procedures for removal due to excessive absences.

Michigan HB6239 amends the village code to establish attendance requirements for village council members. A member absent from over 50% of regular meetings in a 12-month period faces removal for willful neglect of duty. The village clerk must notify members absent from 40% or more of meetings. Absences due to military service, temporary medical conditions, or federal leave are exempt. The clerk is immune from liability for good-faith compliance with the act. A removal creates a council vacancy to be filled according to existing law.
