Lansing, MI – State Senator Dale Zorn’s measures to increase flexibility for serving on local boards and transferring rental property became the first two policy bills to be approved by a committee in the new session.
Senate Bill 16 would allow rental property owners more flexibility when transferring property between entities. It is a reintroduction of a bill which was passed by the Legislature last year only to be pocket vetoed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The second bill reported by the committee was SB 17, which would help more local communities fill first responder and public safety positions.
A public servant of a Michigan township, city, village or county with a population of 25,000 or more cannot serve that community as an EMT, firefighter, police officer or public safety officer.
Zorn’s bill would expand the population limit to 40,000.
