2012 House Bill 5311

Authorize Detroit regional transit vehicle registration tax

Introduced in the House

Jan. 26, 2012

Introduced by Rep. David Rutledge (D-54)

To give the regional transit authority proposed by House Bill 5309 (and Senate Bill 909) the power to impose a higher vehicle registration tax (on top of the state version). A vote of the people in the region would be required; even if the tax was defeated in a particular community it would still be imposed if a majority of voters in the region approved it. This is part of Gov. Rick Snyder’s road and transit tax proposal.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation
