HB 5229: Occupations: real estate; waiver of services in limited service agreement; modify. Amends sec. 2512d of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.2512d). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5227'25, HB 5228'25

HB 5229 amends Michigan's real estate licensing law to allow sellers or lessors to waive specific brokerage services through a "limited service agreement." It directly affects real estate brokers and their clients (sellers/lessors) by permitting them to opt out of certain duties listed in the current law, such as marketing property (subsection 3a), handling offers (3b), and negotiation assistance (3c). The bill maintains core obligations like loyalty, confidentiality, and timely accounting but adds a formal waiver mechanism for select services. This change aims to provide flexibility for clients who want simplified brokerage arrangements while prohibiting brokers from misleading the public by advertising "for sale by owner" when represented. The bill is currently pending in committee and has not been enacted.

The bill also bars brokers from sharing commissions with unlicensed individuals (except for commercially prepared name lists) and mandates written agency disclosures before negotiating offers for buyers. These changes directly affect licensed real estate brokers and salespersons conducting transactions in Michigan.

HB 5228: Occupations: real estate; disclosure regarding real estate agency relationship; modify. Amends sec. 2517 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.2517). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5227'25, HB 5229'25

HB 5228 amends Michigan's real estate licensing law (MCL 339.2517) to modify disclosure requirements about real estate agency relationships. It directly affects real estate agents and their clients by changing how agents must explain their role and representation in transactions. The bill specifically revises Section 2517 of the Occupational Code to update the language or process for disclosing agency relationships. This is a procedural policy change focused on transparency in real estate transactions, not on new financial or operational requirements.

This bill amends Michigan's Use Tax Act to provide ongoing tax exemptions for data center equipment used by qualified data centers and enterprise data centers. To maintain these exemptions, the state requires facilities to meet specific job creation thresholds and submit annual reports to the Michigan Strategic Fund regarding employment, investments, and compliance with green building standards.

For existing data centers, the exemption applies after 2022 only if at least 400 related jobs are created, and after 2026 only if at least 1,000 such jobs are established. For new enterprise data centers, the bill mandates that owners receive a certificate from the Michigan Strategic Fund confirming they plan to meet certain criteria within six years before they can claim the tax exemption.

It specifically targets public universities, defined as those receiving state school aid, by removing their tax-free status for facilities used solely to operate data centers. The legislation defines a data center as a building housing infrastructure for third-party commercial data processing. This change directly affects public universities in Michigan that currently rely on property tax exemptions for their data center operations.

HB 5775: Individual income tax: exemptions; exemption for post-graduation scholarship grants; provide for. Amends sec. 30 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.30).

HB 5775 amends Michigan's individual income tax law to create a new tax exemption for post-graduation scholarship grants. This change directly affects individuals who receive these specific scholarship awards, allowing them to exclude that income from their state taxable income. The bill modifies Section 30 of the Income Tax Act by adding a new provision that treats post-graduation scholarship grants similarly to other educational benefits currently exempt from taxation. By removing these grants from taxable income, the legislation reduces the amount of state tax residents must pay on this specific source of funding.
