2017 Senate Bill 409: Allow private Great Lakes harbor leases
Public Act 18 of 2018
Introduced by Sen. Tom Casperson (R) on May 30, 2017
To authorize 50 year "bottomland" leases to owners of single-family homes on Great Lakes shorelines who want to create a private, non-commercial, recreational harbor formed by a breakwater. Owners would have to pay 1 percent of the state equalized property value in an up-front lump sum payment every 25 years. The money would go into a segregated account that pays for parts of the Department of Environmental Quality's operations. Official Text and Analysis.
