The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 21. (1) By adoption of a resolution, the board of trustees of a community college district organized under this chapter may initiate annexation to the community college district, in the manner provided in this act, of a contiguous county, contiguous township, contiguous intermediate school district, or contiguous local school district not already included within the area of a community college district, subject to the following:
(a) A community college district located in the Upper Peninsula may annex a county, township, intermediate school district, or local school district that is not contiguous.
(b) A community college district that has been offering classes at a federal military installation located in a noncontiguous county for a period of at least 20 years may annex that noncontiguous county or that portion of the noncontiguous county that is not within another community college district.
(2) Before an annexation election, the board of trustees shall obtain approval of the proposed annexation from the superintendent of public instruction. Upon receipt of the approval, the secretary of the board of trustees shall file certified copies of the annexation resolution and the approval with the clerk of the county or township to be annexed, or the secretary of the board of the intermediate school district or local school district and the school district filing official of the school district to be annexed, as applicable.
(3) After the resolution and approval are filed under subsection (2), the county board of commissioners, the township board, or the board of the intermediate or local school district, as applicable, shall request that the school district filing official call a special election for the purpose of voting on the question of annexation to the community college district and of approving the maximum tax rate existing in the community college district. A special election called under this subsection shall be held on a regular election day that is not less than 49 days after the special election is requested.
(4) An annexation is effective on the date of the election if both propositions receive majority approval of the electors voting on the propositions. The final results of the annexation election shall be canvassed by the appropriate board of county canvassers as provided in section 24a of the Michigan election law, MCL 168.24a.
(5) By virtue of annexation, unless otherwise provided in the approved annexation propositions, territory annexed to a community college district is subject to taxes levied for principal and interest of outstanding bonded indebtedness of the community college district.
(6) If a portion of a county, township, or intermediate or local school district to be annexed lies within a community college district at the time of the annexation election, then the electors residing in that territory are not eligible to vote on the propositions and that territory does not become a part of the community college district.
Sec. 37. The appropriate board of county canvassers under section 24a of the Michigan election law, MCL 168.24a, shall conduct a canvass of the results of an election under this chapter. The board of county canvassers shall conduct the canvass within 3 days of the election.
Sec. 57. The appropriate board of county canvassers prescribed in section 24a of the Michigan election law, MCL 168.24a, shall conduct a canvass of the results of the election within 3 days after an election under this chapter.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect unless House Bill No. 4171 of the 97th Legislature is enacted into law.
This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
