Introduced in the House on March 4, 2008, to establish that a charter township with a population of more than 20,000 is exempt from having its territory annexed by a city and is not permitted to detach territory from a city. The bill is narrowly drawn so that it applies to the City of Livonia and Northville Charter Township; the contect is a dispute over development of the old Northville Psychiatric Hospital
The vote was 100 in favor, 9 opposed and 1 not voting
