Introduced in the House

June 14, 2022

Introduced by Rep. Helena Scott (D-7)

To revise a 2012 law that authorized Detroit to create a streetlight authority with the power to borrow money to restore the city's streetlights, 70 percent of which were reportedly out of service. This bill would require the state to just give the city money to pay off that debt.
