Legislative Committee

Each month the Legislative Committee members review, monitor, and propose legislation that benefits Metro Council members specifically and west Michigan in general. The committee regularly invites federal and state elected officials to discuss recent or pending legislation. Representatives from the Michigan Municipal League and Michigan Townships Association often attend committee meetings to provide legislative counsel and legislative updates. The committee coordinates its legislative activities with:

  • County Road Association of Michigan
  • Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce
  • Michigan Association of Counties
  • Michigan Environmental Council
  • Michigan Municipal League
  • Michigan Townships Association

The Legislative Committee typically meets the second Wednesday of every month from 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM at the offices of GVMC. Every GVMC member has a seat.
