HB 6270: Sales tax: exemptions; exemption for building materials purchased for the construction of a new single-family residence; provide for. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6269'26

Michigan House Bill 6270 creates a temporary sales tax exemption for the purchase of building materials used to construct new single-family homes or small multi-family dwellings with up to four units. This two-year benefit applies to both homeowners and construction companies, provided that a valid building permit is in place at the time of the material sale. The bill requires state officials to submit annual reports to the legislature detailing how many new homes were built, jobs created, and the impact on state tax revenue due to this exemption.

SB 1136: Public employees and officers: compensation and benefits; public employer contribution to medical benefit plan; modify. Amends title & secs. 3, 4 & 5 of 2011 PA 152 (MCL 15.563 et seq.) & adds secs. 3a & 4a.

Michigan Senate Bill 1136 amends state law to cap the amount public employers can spend on employee health insurance, introducing new fixed dollar limits for single, couple, and family coverage starting in 2027. The bill also reverses a previous provision that allowed employers to pay no more than 80% of total medical costs, instead mandating that they pay at least 80% of those expenses beginning in the same year. These new financial caps are adjusted annually based on changes in Michigan health insurance rates or a minimum 3% increase, whichever is higher. Existing collective bargaining agreements that conflict with these limits are exempt until their current terms expire or are renegotiated.

SB 1140: Economic development: brownfield redevelopment authority; brownfield redevelopment financing act; amend to exempt museum authorities. Amends sec. 2 of 1996 PA 381 (MCL 125.2652). TIE BAR WITH: SB 1139'26, SB 1141'26

SB 1140 amends the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act to exempt museum authorities, specifically those created under the art institute and history museum acts, from having their property taxes captured by brownfield redevelopment plans. This change prevents local governments from diverting tax revenues that would otherwise go directly to these cultural institutions when nearby properties are redeveloped as brownfields. The bill takes effect only if companion bills SB 1139 and SB 1141 are also enacted, ensuring a coordinated update to the state's economic development financing framework.

HB 6228 amends the Michigan Tax Increment Financing Act to exclude property taxes levied for history museum authorities from the pool of tax increment revenues that local development authorities can capture. This change directly affects downtown development, local development finance, and other TIF authorities by preventing them from using captured property value growth to fund projects in areas where a history museum authority has already established its own tax base. The bill applies this exclusion across multiple sections of the act governing different types of development zones, ensuring that these specific museum-related taxes are not diverted to other municipal economic development efforts.

HB 6224: Marihuana: taxation; comprehensive road funding tax act; repeal. Repeals 2025 PA 23 (MCL 205.901 - 205.913).

Michigan House Bill 6224 repeals the Comprehensive Road Funding Tax Act, which was enacted as Public Act 23 of 2025. This legislation removes specific state tax provisions that were previously established to generate revenue for road infrastructure projects. By eliminating these statutes, the bill directly affects taxpayers and state agencies responsible for collecting and managing those funds.

HB 6269: Use tax: exemptions; exemption for building materials purchased for the construction of a new single-family residence; provide for. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6270'26

Michigan House Bill 6269 amends the state's use tax act to exempt qualified building materials from taxation when purchased for the construction of new single-family residences or small multi-family homes with up to four units. This exemption applies to both home owners and developers, as well as contractors building for others, provided a valid building permit is in place at the time of purchase. The bill includes safeguards that require taxpayers to pay back any exempted taxes if the materials are not used for the intended residence, if the project is abandoned within 15 months, or if the building permit expires before a certificate of occupancy is issued. Additionally, the state Department of Treasury must submit annual reports to the legislature detailing how this tax break affects housing construction, job creation, and state revenue.

HR 10039: SMART Savings Act of 2026

The SMART Savings Act of 2026 amends federal tax laws to exempt individual retirement accounts, such as IRAs and Keogh plans, from specific prohibited transaction rules that currently restrict how these accounts can be used for certain business activities. By removing these restrictions, the bill allows account holders to engage in transactions involving their retirement funds without triggering immediate penalties or disqualification, provided they do not engage in self-dealing. The legislation explicitly preserves existing prohibitions against self-dealing, ensuring that individuals cannot use their retirement assets for personal gain outside of defined relationship benefits. These changes apply to all transactions occurring after the date the act is enacted.

S 5322: Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Improvement Act

The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Improvement Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to increase the maximum tax credit available for contributions to scholarship programs from $1,000 to $1,700 per taxpayer. This change directly affects individuals and married couples filing jointly who donate to qualified scholarship organizations, allowing them to claim a larger deduction against their federal taxes. The bill also establishes an automatic annual adjustment mechanism that increases the credit limit based on inflation starting in 2026, with any adjustments rounded to the nearest $50 increment. These provisions are set to take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

S 5331: Protect American Values Act of 2026

The Protect American Values Act of 2026 prohibits the use of federal funds to implement or enforce a specific Department of Homeland Security rule regarding the "Public Charge" ground of inadmissibility. This legislation directly affects immigrants and their families by preventing the government from using financial resources to carry out policies that could restrict access to essential services like food, medical care, and housing. The bill includes a statement of congressional intent arguing that the targeted rule would harm community health, increase poverty, and circumvent established immigration laws. By blocking funding for this specific regulatory action, the act aims to maintain current eligibility standards for public assistance without altering the underlying statutory framework.

S 5330: Critical Mineral and Extraction Tax Parity Act

The Critical Mineral and Extraction Tax Parity Act expands the existing advanced manufacturing production tax credit to include nine additional critical minerals - boron, copper, lead, potash, rhenium, silicon, silver, uranium, and phosphate - effective for products sold after December 31, 2025. The bill allows companies that extract ore in the United States (or specific foreign locations where the mineral is not commercially available domestically) to claim tax credits for extraction costs if the ore is subsequently refined into one of these covered minerals. Additionally, the legislation removes a previous restriction that limited the tax credit amount for metallurgical coal, ensuring it receives the same full credit rate as other eligible materials.
