A bill to amend 1956 PA 40, entitled “The drain code of 1956,” by amending section 196 (MCL 280.196), as amended by 2020 PA 291.
When a drainage district’s drain fund contains less than $5,000 per mile or fraction of a mile of a drain, the drain commissioner or drainage board, as appropriate, can only assess the district up to $2,500 per mile or fraction of a mile in a single year for drain inspection, repair, and maintenance. House Bill 5188 would double these amounts, allowing a drain commissioner or board to assess a district up to $5,000 per mile or fraction of a mile when the drain fund is below $10,000 per mile or fraction of a mile of a drain.
