Senate Roll Call 61: Passed

To give school districts the power to increase property taxes by up to 1 mill for 20 years to operate swimming pools, recreation centers, auditoriums, conference centers, and more as part of a "recreation authority." A school millage election would be required. The tax increase could be used to operate existing school facilities and programs. <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2009-HB-4700">House Bill 4700</a> does the same thing and passed the House <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/RollCall.aspx?ID=395428">68-41</a>.
