2004 House Bill 5517 ↩

House Roll Call 228: The amendment was adopted

To require that the grants to local governments to hire private firms to audit the "personal property" tax returns of local businesses, as proposed by the Whitmer amendment, only be used to hire Michigan-based auditors. Grants in the 2003-2004 budget for this purpose went primarily to a South Carolina firm, which reportedly proposed the grant program.
