Introduced
by
To eliminate a provision in the law authorizing a Detroit utility tax that lowers the tax rate if more than $45 million is collected in a given year unless the extra money is used to hire and retain additional police officers above the number employed on November 1, 1984 (3,537 officers). Detroit now has less than this number of police, and will have collected approximately $10 million more in 2005 than the $45 million amount.
Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
Reported without amendment
Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
Passed in the House 96 to 9 (details)
Referred to the Committee on Finance
