Introduced
by
To allow the school districts that absorbed portions of the Buena Vista school district in Saginaw County, which was dissolved in 2012 after becoming fiscally unviable, to levy non-homestead property taxes in the dissolved district's territory to pay off some of debt the failed district incurred to cover operational expenses, subject to restrictions specified in the bill (and in the state constitution). Reportedly the alternative would be for a court to impose a "judgment levy" property tax on residents. See also Senate Bill 173 and House Bill 4644.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
Reported without amendment
