Gov. Rick Snyder has signed three bills he says clarify operations of municipalities and make it easier for counties, cities, townships and villages to file documents and save money.
Senate Bill 62 allows county deed offices to accept an electronic signature for property documents being filed.
SB 281 allows the 36th District Court in Detroit to remove bailiffs from office if they are unable to perform essential functions of their job. Prior to this change, state law assured bailiffs of this court lifetime employment, regardless of ability to perform the duties of their position.
House Bill 4070 allows employees of municipalities under 40,000 residents to serve in dual roles, so long as they are not in charge of negotiating collective bargaining agreements.
