Compiler's Notes:
The following communication was received:“September 12, 1999The Honorable John EnglerCapitol BuildingLansing, MichiganSubject: PA 381 of 1996Dear Governor Engler:A review of the Senate and House Journals has revealed an error in Enrolled Senate Bill 923, which was filed with the Secretary of State on July 24, 1996, and assigned Public Act No. 381 of 1996. The bill presented to the Governor on July 17, 1996, did not accurately reflect what was agreed to by both houses of the Legislature. Specifically, Section 17, subsection (1), the third sentence incorrectly stated:'The terms of the municipal finance act, Act No. 202 of the Public Acts of 1943, apply to bonds issued under this section.'The sentence agreed to by both houses is:'Except for the requirement of the municipal finance act, Act No. 202 of the Public Acts of 1943, being sections 131.1 to 139.3 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, that the authority receive the approval or an exception from approval from the department of treasury prior to the issuance of bonds under this subsection, the terms of Act No. 202 of the Public Acts of 1943 shall not apply to bonds issued under this section.'Therefore, we are presenting a correct Enrolled Senate Bill 923 for your signature and filing with the Secretary of State. Upon filing, the defective Enrolled Senate Bill 923 will be replaced with the correct Enrolled Senate Bill 923 and assigned the same public act number. The effective date of the Public Act No. 381 of 1996 will be the date the correct bill is filed.This procedure ensures the integrity of the process while providing notification to the public. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you or the citizens of the state of Michigan. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.Sincerely,Carol Morey Viventi Melvin J.
