2008 House Bill 6133

Senate Roll Call 571: Passed

To revise the penalty for withdrawing commercial forest land from a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-HB-5454">commercial forest</a> program that subjects the property to lower taxes in return for the owner giving the public access for recreation. Reportedly the penalty formula established in the last revision of the law in 2006 was so onerous that no owners have used the program.
