Introduced
by
To revise the population threshold in a law that gives Detroit the power to define a fire arson investigator as a police officer. The Michigan constitution prohibits passing “local acts” with less than a two-thirds majority vote in the House and Senate, so the legislature has circumvented this by granting certain privileges or exemptions to “a city with a population greater than 1 million,” later revised to 900,000, and then 750,000. This bill changes that to 600,000.
Referred to the Committee on Local, Intergovernmental, and Regional Affairs
Reported without amendment
Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
