Senate Bill 935 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Deborah Cherry
Committee: Local, Urban and State Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would create a new act to authorize a county board of commissioners to establish and operate a farmers market or flea market in the county. Except as provided below, the county board of commissioners would have control of the market and could issue regulations for its use and operation.
In a county that had adopted an optional unified form of county government under Public Act 139 of 1973, the county executive or county manager would have control of the market and could issue regulations for its use and operation. In a county that had adopted a charter under Public Act 293 of 1966, the county executive or chief administrative officer would have control of the market and could issue regulations for its use and operation.
Legislative Analyst: Julie Cassidy
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would increase local revenue and expenditures by an unknown amount. Presumably, establishing and operating markets authorized under the bill would increase expenditures, and the increased costs would be partially or completely offset by revenue associated with the operation of the markets. The bill would have no impact on State revenue or expenditures.
