PROPOSAL 02-4: Reallocation of Tobacco Lawsuit Proceeds

Should Michigan voters amend the Constitution to reallocate tobacco lawsuit proceeds?

Updated on Nov. 6, 2002

The initiative would change the way money from the national tobacco lawsuit settlement is spent in Michigan. It would mandate that fixed percentages of the settlement proceeds be spent each year on certain specified items and groups. The mandate would be a part of the Constitution.
