Committee: Finance

MCL 41.722 - Legislative Analyst: George Towne
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would have no fiscal impact on the State. It is unknown how many townships would construct sound attenuation walls under the bill, but the number is expected to be minimal. As a result, while the bill would allow increased spending by townships and thus could result in higher township taxes, the impact is expected to be minimal.
