Sec. 41.
(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 that portion of a local school district, intermediate school district, county, or township that is not already included in a community college district.
(2) Before an annexation election described in subsection (3), the board of trustees shall obtain the approval of the proposed annexation from the superintendent of public instruction. If the board receives that approval, the secretary of the board of trustees shall, subject to section 646a of the Michigan election law, MCL 168.646a, file certified copies of the annexation resolution, the approval, and the wording of the ballot questions described in subsection (3) with the clerk of the county in which the territory to be annexed is located.
(3) After the resolution, approval, and ballot questions are filed under subsection (2), the clerk of the county shall place before the electors the question of annexation to the community college district and of approving the maximum tax rate existing in the community college district.
(4) If both propositions receive majority approval of the electors voting on the propositions, the effective date of the annexation is the date the election is certified by the appropriate board of county canvassers.
(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.
(7) If a school district that operates grades kindergarten through 12 is annexed to a community college district before July 1, 2004, the school district is entitled to elect a member to the board of trustees of the community college district for a term of 6 years. The first member shall be elected at the first regular community college election after the annexation election.
