2009 House Bill 5567 / 2010 Public Act 9

Grant property tax breaks to a particular subdivision

Introduced in the House

Oct. 29, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Woodrow Stanley (D-34)

To extend "Neighborhood Enterprise Zone" property tax breaks to the University Park Estates subdivision in Flint, which is less than 10 years old, and is in a "renaissance zone" whose tax-exempt status is expiring soon. Under current law, these particular NEZ tax breaks are for subdivisions built before 1968. They cut the owner's local property tax liability on the structure in half.

Referred to the Committee on Urban Policy

Dec. 1, 2009

Reported without amendment

Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.

Dec. 8, 2009

Substitute offered by Rep. Woodrow Stanley (D-34)

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises details but does not change the substance of the bill as previously described.

The substitute passed by voice vote

Amendment offered by Rep. Tom McMillin (R-45)

To tie-bar the bill to Senate Bill 945, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. SB 945 would authorize the creation of local “right to work zones,” where employers to join or financially support a union as a condition of employment.

The amendment failed by voice vote
