2009 House Bill 5251

Revise county revenue sharing/tax shift details

Introduced in the House

Aug. 19, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Richard Hammel (D-48)

To revise the <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2004-SB-1111">2004 law</a> that shifted forward biannual county property tax payments, and required counties to use the extra revenue this generated to create a fund to replace state revenue sharing payments. The bill would require only that the State only give counties that have depleted their fund revenue sharing payments equal to what the county received in Fiscal Year 2003-04, rather than an inflation-adjusted amount.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
