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.

HB 6295: Health: other; grant program for promoting health professions in primary care to students in this state; establish. Amends 1978 PA 268 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding pt. 27C.

Michigan House Bill 6295 creates a state grant program to help medical, nursing, and other health professions schools promote primary care careers to middle school and high school students. The Department of Health and Human Services would administer the program by awarding grants to eligible educational institutions that agree to conduct outreach activities targeting these younger student groups. A dedicated fund within the state treasury would support the grants, with money carried over from year to year rather than expiring. The department is also required to publish an annual public report detailing the program's cost-effectiveness, successes, challenges, and recommendations for future changes.

HB 6254: Individual income tax: credit; credit for certain employers that provide positional asphyxiation training; provide for.

Michigan employers licensed to sell alcohol, such as bars and restaurants, can claim a $250 tax credit for each employee who completes required training on preventing positional asphyxiation. This training is specifically designed for staff members, including bouncers, whose job duties involve the potential restraint of other individuals. The bill mandates that employers cover the costs of this instruction to qualify for the credit against their state income tax withholdings. These provisions are set to take effect for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, provided two related bills from the current legislative session are also enacted into law.

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.
