Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1976 PA 225, entitled "An act to defer the collection of special assessments on homestead properties; to provide for conditions of eligibility for such a deferment; to prescribe the powers and duties of the department of treasury, local assessing officers, and local collecting officers; to provide for the advancement of moneys by the state to indemnify special assessment districts for losses from deferment of collections; to provide for the advancement of money by the state to an owner for the repayment of loans used by the owner to pay special assessments; to provide for the collection of deferred special assessments and interest thereon, and the disposition of these collections; to make an appropriation; and to prescribe penalties," by amending section 4 (MCL 211.764), as amended by 1980 PA 403.
AI Summary
This bill amends a 1976 law that defers the collection of special property tax assessments on homesteads. The key changes are:
1) Using gender-neutral language, such as replacing "husband and wife" with "married couple."
2) Requiring that the affidavit form used to apply for the deferment must state that the state will place a lien on the property if the deferment is authorized.
3) Specifying that the deferment cannot be made without the written consent of any mortgage or land contract holder on the property.
4) Making other minor wording changes, such as replacing "shall" with "must."
The bill will only take effect if a related joint resolution is approved as a constitutional amendment.
