WITHDRAW FROM TRANS. AUTH. - S.B. 1240: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 1240 (as introduced 4-23-02)
Sponsor: Senator Thaddeus G. McCotter
Committee: Government Operations
Date Completed: 5-23-02
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Metropolitan Transportation Authorities Act to provide that a city with a population of at least 100,000 but less than 150,000, located in a county that has become part of an authority under the Act, could withdraw from the authority at any time by adopting a city council resolution by majority vote. The city then would have no further direct or indirect tax liability to the authority.
(The Act allows the creation of regional transportation authorities; however, provisions in the Act limit participation in an authority to the City of Detroit, Wayne County, and surrounding counties. The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) operates under the Act.)
