2001 House Bill 4869

Introduced in the House

June 5, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Patricia Birkholz (R-88)

To amend a law which currently allows a city with a population greater than one-million to have a certain provision concerning the makeup of citizen district advisory councils referred to in a law authorizing neighborhood blight plans, by changing the qualifying threshold population from one-million to 750,000. Currently only the City of Detroit meets this criteria, a city which has recently seen its population change from over one-million to just under one-million according to the 2000 census. This is one of several bills (HB 4868-4873) which must be passed to permit the City of Detroit to continue to qualify for certain provisions of state law.
