2009 House Bill 5252

Revise county revenue sharing/tax shift details

Introduced in the House

Aug. 19, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Richard Hammel (D-48)

To revise the <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2004-SB-1111">2004 law</a> that shifted forward biannual county property tax payments, and required counties to use the extra revenue this generated to create a fund to replace state revenue sharing payments. The bill would allow counties to only spend an amount from their fund equal to what the county received in Fiscal Year 2003-04, rather than an inflation-adjusted amount.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
