Committee adopts substitute and reports bill allowing county drain assessments on state lands
Summary
The Michigan House Committee on Government Operations adopted an H-1 substitute and reported House Bill 4118, which would allow county drain commissioners to levy drain assessments on state-owned land; the committee voted unanimously on the substitute and to report the bill.
The Michigan House Committee on Government Operations on an unspecified date adopted an H-1 substitute to House Bill 4118 and reported the bill out of committee with a recommendation as substituted.
House Bill 4118 would allow county drain commissioners to levy a drain assessment on state lands. The H-1 substitute corrected a drafting error on page 3, line 2, changing the word "country" to "county." Representative Harris moved adoption of the substitute; the clerk recorded five yeas and no nays on the motion and the substitute was adopted.
Committee members read two testimony cards for the bill. Andrew, identified as from the Michigan Farm Bureau, was noted as not wishing to speak in support; Susan Julian, who had provided testimony at an earlier hearing, was not present and was invited to submit written testimony for the record.
After the substitute was adopted, Representative Harris moved to report House Bill 4118 with the committee's recommendation as substituted. The clerk called the roll and the motion to report the bill carried with the same recorded yeas and no nays. The committee's action forwards the bill to the next step in the legislative process with a recommendation as substituted.
Votes at a glance: The committee recorded a roll call on the motion to adopt the H-1 substitute and on the motion to report the bill. The clerk reported five yeas, zero nays, zero pass on both motions.
No timeline for floor action or further committee review was announced during the hearing.
