Introduced

To establish that a township may levy a special assessment for the eradication or control of aquatic weeds and plants on a lake, stream, pond, etc., unless a petition is signed against it by 20 percent of the property owners with deeded access to the water, rather than the current standard of 20 percent in the “special assessment district.” (Under current law, if 20 percent object to a township special assessment, it cannot be imposed unless 50 percent of property owners sign a petition in favor of it.) The aquatic weeds levy would be imposed on a flat-rate, per-parcel basis.
