LOCAL UNIT BUDGET HEARING S.B. 872 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 872 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Wayne Kuipers
Committee: Local, Urban and State Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would amend Public Act 43 of 1963 (2nd Ex Sess), which provides for public hearings on budgets of local units of government, to require each local unit to hold a public hearing within 30 days before the date of final adoption of its budget. Under the Act, each local unit must hold a public hearing prior to final adoption of its budget.
Currently, units that submit budgets to a county tax allocation board must hold the public hearing after the board has fixed the tax rate allocation. The bill would make this permissive.
