Substitute offered

The substitute passed by voice vote

Substitute offered

To adopt a version of the bill containing an unrelated provision revising one county's collections from a fund created by a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2004-SB-1112">2004 law</a> shifting forward the date of county property tax collections as a means of avoiding spending reductions in that year's budget. The change apparently reflects the resolution of a particular tax dispute.

The substitute passed by voice vote

To allow counties to consolidate a property owner’s winter and summer property taxes into one summer tax bill if the winter tax bill is less than $100.
