Podcast 83 Legislative Update Jan. 17, 2024
A long-sought policy to create a secure source of county
revenue sharing dollars and changes in juvenile justice and court policies are discussed in the latest episode of Podcast
83, MAC’s podcast on all matters county-related in Michigan.
Host Stephan Currie led the Podcast 83 team of Deena
Bosworth, Madeline Fata and Samantha Gibson through a review of MAC’s 2024 legislative priorities in Lansing.
Topping the list, said Bosworth, is the creation of a Revenue Sharing Trust Fund to hold dedicated state dollars to share with local
governments.
“It might still be a little bit of an uphill battle because it does carve out a portion of the state sales tax and cuts into the unrestricted
funds the Legislature uses … Hopefully we get some movement on it this spring,” she explained.
Bosworth also reviewed the legislative state of play on
reimbursements for losses due to a property tax exemption for disabled veterans, while Gibson discussed the need to reset a legislative “sunset” on the authority of local trial courts to levy fees on defendants and Fata described the numerous challenges to infrastructure funding.
