Michigan § 125.2663a - Cost recovery action.

Costs of a response activity paid with tax increment revenues that are captured pursuant to section 13(4) may be recovered from a party that is responsible for an activity causing a release. This state or an authority may undertake cost recovery for tax increment revenue captured. Before an authority or this state may institute a cost recovery action, it must provide the other with 60 days' notice. This state or an authority that recovers costs under this section shall apply those recovered costs to the following, in the following order of priority:

(a) The reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred by this state or an authority in obtaining the cost recovery.

(b) One of the following:

(i) If an authority undertakes the cost recovery action, the authority shall deposit the remaining recovered funds into the local brownfield revolving fund created pursuant to section 8, if such a fund has been established by the authority. If a local brownfield revolving fund has not been established, the authority shall disburse the remaining recovered funds to the local taxing jurisdictions in the proportion that the local taxing jurisdictions' taxes were captured.

(ii) If this state undertakes a cost recovery action, this state shall deposit the remaining recovered funds into the revitalization revolving loan fund established under section 20108a of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.20108a.

(iii) If this state and an authority each undertake a cost recovery action, undertake a cost recovery action jointly, or one on behalf of the other, the amount of any remaining recovered funds shall be deposited pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) in the proportion that the tax increment revenues being recovered represent local taxes and taxes levied for school operating purposes, respectively.
