The People of the State of Michigan enact:

Sec. 3c. (1) A township may finance by special assessment the provision of mosquito abatement by private contractors. The township board may initiate the establishment of a township-wide special assessment district under this section by resolution or authorize the use of petitions to initiate the establishment of a township-wide special assessment district under this section, or both. If petitions are used to initiate the establishment of a township-wide special assessment district under this section, the owners of not less than 10% of the land in the township must sign the petitions to initiate the establishment of the township-wide special assessment district.

(2) If a township board adopts a resolution to initiate the establishment of a township-wide special assessment district as provided under subsection (1) or if the owners of not less than 10% of the land in the township sign petitions to initiate the establishment of a township-wide special assessment district as provided under subsection (1), the township board shall submit the question of raising money for mosquito abatement by special assessment to the electors residing in that township at a general election or special election called for that purpose by the township board. When submitting the question of raising money for mosquito abatement by special assessment, the ballot must state the duration of the special assessment.

(3) If the question of raising money for mosquito abatement by special assessment is submitted by the township board to the electors residing in that township, a special assessment district for mosquito abatement is established if a majority of the electors residing in that township voting on the question approve the special assessment district.

(4) All proceedings related to the making, levying, and collecting of special assessments authorized under this section must conform as nearly as practicable with the proceedings provided in 1954 PA 188, MCL 41.721 to 41.738.
