Summary

The measure changes township officer selection by allowing county supervisors to appoint trustees and clerks in small townships, adds mandatory training, and requires annual financial reports. It also gives counties a say in township budgets and creates a rural fire‑protection fund for cities that serve townships. The changes would affect all townships, county boards, city fire departments, and the school districts that receive township tax revenues.
