2003 Senate Bill 771 ↩

House Roll Call 714: Passed

To authorize the emergency financial manager of a financially challenged and distressed municipality which is under emergency financial management to reorganize city government, cut the salary and benefits of the city’s chief administrative officer (mayor) and members of its governing body, and remove department heads, except elected officials, the city clerk or ombudsman. The bill would also require the manager to determine if the city's financial problems are the result of criminal conduct, and if so to refer the matter to the local prosecutor or the state Attorney General.
