To specify that the property tax (“assessment”) that the Detroit Regional Transit Authority may collect under a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2012-SB-909">2012 law</a> may be for up to two mills but not more, which would reportedly extract an additional $300 million annually from Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne County property owners. Also, to exempt this tax from being skimmed by a “tax capture” authority’s tax increment finance scheme (for example a downtown development authority).
