Introduced
by
To restrict “interlocal agreements” (which formalize a joint exercise of power, privilege or authority between two or more government entities), to non-renewable 20-year terms. Also, to require them to post revenue, spending and other information online, and prohibit them from themselves entering into another ILA. The bill would require a public hearing and additional notice requirements for governments proposing to create an ILA, require that they get approval from the state regarding the proposed ILA’s legality, and if one of the government entities is a state agency, require that the Governor sign the ILA. There are almost 1,000 <a href="http://www.mackinac.org/depts/policy/ilagreement.aspx?municipality=All+Municipalities&county=All+Counties">such agreements</a> between Michigan government entities.
Referred to the Committee on Local Government and Elections
