2015 Senate Bill 356

Senate Roll Call 357: Passed

To allow the school districts that absorbed portions of the Buena Vista school district in Saginaw County, which was dissolved in 2012 after becoming fiscally unviable, to levy non-homestead property taxes in the dissolved district's territory to pay off some of debt the failed district incurred to cover operational expenses, subject to restrictions specified in the bill (and in the state constitution). Reportedly the alternative would be for a court to impose a "judgment levy" property tax on residents.
