[Michlib-l] Additinal information on Tax Capture Legislation

[Membiela, Clare (MDE)]

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to clarify the News information I sent on the pending Michigan Legislation on transparency for Tax Capture entities.

I want to be sure that readers don't confuse the legislation in the story today with the longstanding legislation SB 579 and SB 619-624.

SB 579 and SB 619-624 are the bills that will provide the opt out provisions for Libraries.

The bill discussed in the story this morning, SB 1026, while interesting from a FOIA perspective,  is only a bill that will provide some transparency - it is NOT related to the far more important and library-related SB 579 and SB 619-624.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Additional information on these bills and others is also available at the MLA website</%20http:/www.milibraries.org/>, as well as  http://www.milibraries.org/mla-advocacy---july-28-2016  , as well as the Legislature's site SB 579<http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2015-SB-0579>, SB 619-624<http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2015-SB-0624>

Have a great Day!
Clare
