2009 Senate Bill 375 / 2010 Public Act 260

Authorize remonumentation of Michigan-Indiana state line

Introduced in the Senate

March 12, 2009

Introduced by Sen. Ron Jelinek (R-21)

To appropriate up to $500,000 to pay for the remonumentation of the Michigan-Indiana state line proposed by Senate Bill 374. The money would not come from a state "Land Survey and Remonumentation Fund" created for projects like this, and funded by a fee imposed on recording deeds (originally $2 per deed, but increased to $4 by <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2002-HB-6490">House Bill 6490 of 2002</a>). That's in part because the fund was depleted in a "fund raid" by the legislature for <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2006-SB-959">$15 million in 2006</a> to avoid spending cuts and reforms.

Referred to the Committee on Local, Urban, and State Affairs
