Subject: [Michlib-l] Tax Capture Bills Pass House Now Back to Senate

from the Michigan Library
Association:<o:p /></span></b>
<br />> <b><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; color: black;">Thank
you MLA members and library supporters! And thank you to the Michigan
legislature for their outstanding support of our libraries.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p /></span>
<br />> <span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; color: black;">Your
engagement with our Representatives helped pass six of the seven library tax
capture relief bills; SB 619 - 624 all passed late last night and
early
this morning. SB 579 impacting Brownfields did not pass. The House added a
technical amendment to the remaining bills so now they go back to the Senate for
concurrence. We expect to see that happen this morning. We'll send complete
information as soon as
the
Senate
concurs.<o:p /></span>
<br />> <span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; color: black;">Watch for an update
shortly.<o:p /></span>
<br />> <span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; color: black;">Great work library
community!<o:p /></span>
