2019 House Bill 4375

Expand governor’s authority to remove state education and university board members

Introduced in the House

March 14, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Pamela Hornberger (R-32)

To expand the governor’s authority to remove a member of the state Board of Education or the governing boards of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University. Under current law the governor can remove a member for gross neglect of duty or for corrupt conduct, but only when the legislature is not in session. The bill would eliminate that last condition.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
