2014 House Bill 5571

House Roll Call 273: Passed

To potentially prohibit any extension of a Detroit regional arts tax authorized by a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2010-SB-1578">2010 law</a> and approved for 10 years in a 2012 election by voters in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. This property tax imposes 0.2 mills that goes to the Detroit Institute of the Arts. The prohibition would apply if ownership of the art museum is transferred to a nonprofit entity, but the tax could be renewed if the city retains ownership.
