House Bill 2966 seeks to repeal Chapter 111 of the Private Acts of 1986, along with any amendments related to it, specifically concerning Van Buren County. The bill outlines that the repeal will only take effect if it receives a two-thirds (2/3) vote of approval from the legislative body of Van Buren County. The presiding officer of the legislative body is responsible for proclaiming the approval or nonapproval and certifying it to the secretary of state.

Additionally, the bill states that for the purpose of approving or rejecting its provisions, it will become effective upon becoming law, reflecting the public welfare requirement. However, for all other purposes, the bill's effectiveness is contingent upon the approval outlined in Section 2.
