HB 5965 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Local government: bonds; certain loans; exempt from definition of municipal security under the revised municipal finance act. Amends sec. 105 of 2001 PA 34 (MCL 141.2105).

This bill modifies Michigan's Revised Municipal Finance Act to clarify that certain financial agreements are not considered municipal securities. Specifically, it exempts contracts for buying or leasing property, emergency and agricultural loans, mortgages, inter-municipal revenue pledges, and specific state loans from the definition of municipal securities. The changes directly affect local governments and financial institutions by removing these specific items from the scope of the act's regulations. By updating the legal definition, the bill aims to provide clearer guidance on which financial instruments fall outside the act's requirements.
