THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

(3) Not less than 30 days after the public hearing, if the
governing body of the eligible entity intends to proceed with the

to the department of treasury seeking approval to establish a
promise zone.

a provision that the local school district will establish a
separate promise zone under this act. If the local school district
