Michigan HB6241 establishes attendance requirements for township board members and outlines procedures for removal due to excessive absences.

Michigan HB6241 amends the townships act to set attendance requirements for township board members. If a member is absent from more than 50% of regular meetings in a 12-month period, they can be removed for willful neglect of duty. The township clerk must notify the member if they are absent from 40% or more of meetings. Absences due to military service, temporary medical conditions, or federal leave are exempt. A township clerk complying in good faith with these provisions is immune from civil liability.
