2001 House Bill 4868 ↩

Senate Roll Call 489: Passed

To amend a law which currently allows a city with a population greater than one-million to finance the provision of certain services by special assessment, and also to issue general obligation bonds, by changing the qualifying threshold population from one-million to 750,000. Currently only the City of Detroit meets this criteria, a city which has recently seen its population change from over one-million to just under one-million according to the 2000 census. This is one of several bills (HB 4868-4873) which must be passed to permit the City of Detroit to continue to qualify for certain provisions of state law.
