MICHIGAN CAPITOL COMMITTEE:  ELIMINATE

House Bills 6006 and 6007 as introduced

Sponsor:  Rep. James A.  Lower

Committee:  Oversight

Complete to 5-22-18

SUMMARY:

The Michigan Capitol Committee was created to advise and make recommendations to the Michigan State Capitol Commission regarding, among other things, restoration and preservation of the Capitol Building, as well as maintenance and repairs, and also maintenance of the grounds surrounding the Building.

House Bill 6006 would amend the Legislative Council Act to repeal Chapter 7 of the Act, which contains the enabling legislation for the Michigan Capitol Committee and prescribes its duties. The bill would also delete a reference to the Committee contained in the Act’s title. The bill would take effect 90 days after being enacted.

MCL 4.1701 to 4.1702 (repealed)

House Bill 6007 would amend the Tobacco Products Tax Act to delete a reference to the Michigan Capitol Committee from a list of recipients of an annual report pertaining to proposed and projected maintenance plans for the Michigan State Capitol Historical Site and projected large-scale projects for the site that exceed $1.0 million. The report would still be required to be provided to the chairpersons of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.

The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 6006, meaning that unless HB 6006 were enacted, HB 6007 could not take effect. The bill would take effect 90 days after being enacted.

MCL 205.432

FISCAL IMPACT:

The bills would have no fiscal impact on state or local government.
