Introduced
by
To amend a law which currently allows a city with a population greater than one-million to maintain representation on the Wayne County port authority, by changing the qualifying threshold population from one-million to 750,000. Currently only the City of Detroit meets this criteria, a city which has recently seen its population change from over one-million to just under one-million according to the 2000 census. This is one of several bills (HB 4868-4873) which must be passed to permit the City of Detroit to continue to qualify for certain provisions of state law.
Referred to the Committee on Local Government and Urban Policy
Passed in the House 93 to 0 (details)
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute adds that to the extent not protected by existing statute, a member of the authority who exercised his or her powers in good faith would be immune from civil or administrative liability arising from that conduct, unless the conduct was gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct.
The substitute passed by voice vote
