2001 Senate Bill 866 / 2002 Public Act 239

Introduced in the Senate

Nov. 29, 2001

Introduced by Sen. Joe Young, Jr. (D-1)

To modify the bonding authority of government garbage disposal plants so as to conform to changes made to the municipal finance act by Senate Bill 29, now Public Act 34 of 2001. That bill made important changes to the procedures, requirements, and restrictions imposed on borrowing and debt issuance by local units of government and governmental authorities. For more information on those changes see the description of <a href="/bill.asp?ID=4790">Senate Bill 29</a>. This bill also changes an existing bond cap, which limits certain borrowing to a percentage of the "dollar value of all taxable property" in the unit, so that the limit is based on the taxable value, which is a lower amount. It is one of more than 100 House and Senate bills amending different public acts to conform with the new law.
