Individual income tax: credit; credit for certain motor fuel retail dealers; provide for. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding secs. 279 & 679.
HB 5359 creates tax credits for Michigan retail dealers selling specific ethanol-blended fuels. It provides a $0.05 per gallon credit for E15 fuel (10-15% ethanol) and $0.085 per gallon for E85 fuel (50-83% ethanol) sold through metered pumps at their retail sites. The credit applies to tax years 2026-2030 and can be refunded if it exceeds the dealer's tax liability. This directly affects motor fuel retailers who sell these ethanol blends to the public, with eligibility defined under Michigan's motor fuel tax act.

MINOR
The bill moved from the Substitute (H-1) version to the As Passed by the House version with no substantive policy changes. All credit amounts, eligibility criteria, timeframes, and definitions remain identical. The differences are limited to formatting, layout reflowing, removal of page headers and line numbers, and a minor typographical error in the enacting clause.
TECHNICAL
Header format changed from 'SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 5359' to 'House BILL NO. 5359' with 'substitute for' moved to a separate line below.
Page headers, footers (KAS, H05214'25, tdq8cj), and line numbers were removed from the text.
Text was reflowed with different line breaks throughout both sections 284 and 674, but no words or policy language were changed.
