State Mandate - Unfunded
State Mandates Unit Affected Costs
This bill establishes a procedure of petition for enacting noise ordinances in unorganized townships.  Requiring county commissioners to submit the question to unincorporated township voters if a petition is signed by at least 25 residents of the township or 10% of the residents of the township, whichever is less, is a state mandate.  The cost of submitting the question to voters is somewhat mitigated by allowing it to be submitted at the next statewide election.  County Significant
