Introduced
by
To allow the Grand Rapids area public transportation authority to levy a property tax for up to 25 years to pay for a “fixed guideway project,” which includes light rail, “people movers,” and other such mass transit systems. Under current law such a tax can only be authorized for five years at a time. This is essentially the same bill as HB 4993, which Gov. Jennifer Granholm vetoed because it would only apply to Grand Rapids rather than the entire state.
