SB 199 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Economic development: tax increment financing; definition of other protected obligation; modify and expand. Amends sec. 301 of 2018 PA 57 (MCL 125.4301).

SB 199 amends Michigan's tax increment financing law to modify funding limits for certain legacy obligations. It specifically restricts the amount of tax increment revenue (revenue from increased property taxes in redevelopment areas) that can be used to pay for ongoing management contracts and professional services established before 1993. The bill phases out these payments annually, starting with $3 million per year for taxes levied through 2009, decreasing to $0 for taxes levied after June 2015. This directly affects municipalities and tax increment authorities that issued or incurred these pre-1993 obligations or related contracts.
