MI HB6492

Joint endeavors may levy up to 5 mills in property tax on areas served, subject to millage limit restrictions that ensure combined local government and joint endeavor mills do not exceed constitutional and statutory maximums.

Tax proposals must be adopted by resolution of each participating local government's governing body before being placed on the ballot.

Tax proposals may only be submitted to voters at elections held on the November regular election date as provided in Michigan election law, rather than restricting to even-year general November elections.

Joint endeavors must decrease millage annually to ensure participating local governments' combined millage with the joint endeavor does not exceed limits under the state constitution, property tax limitation act, and other applicable statutes.

Ballot proposals must comply with general property tax act requirements and must state how the tax levy will result in any reduction of taxes levied by each participating local government.
