A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5296 AS INTRODUCED 2-3-00
House Bill 5296 would amend Public Act 188 of 1954, an act that governs how townships issue bonds in the anticipation of collections for special assessments. Current law requires that notice of hearings in special assessment proceedings must be mailed to each property owner 10 days before the hearing. In addition, notice must be published twice before the hearing in a newspaper circulating in the township, and under the law the first publication of notice must be at least 10 days before the date of the hearing. House Bill 5296 would retain these provisions and also require that each published hearing notice include the street address of each parcel of property to be assessed, if it is available.
