2003 House Bill 4612 ↩

House Roll Call 708: Failed

To raise the state tax on Detroit casinos, from 18 percent to 24 percent through 2005, and then drop it to 22 percent in 2006. This is projected to boost state revenue by $49 million a year. If the Detroit casinos do not build permanent facilities and hotels, the tax would rise by one percentage point per year in 2009, 2010 and 2011. If the race track slot machines (“racinos”) proposed by House Bill 4610 are allowed, the tax would revert to the current level.
