Introduced in the House

April 18, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Kurt Heise (R-20)

To exempt police and firefighters from property tax on their principle residence if they live in the same community in which they are employed. A 1999 law prohibited local governments from imposing residency mandates on police and firefighters, and a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/SearchLegislation.aspx?CategoryID=0&Keywords=residency+police&StartMonth=1&StartYear=2001&EndMonth=12&EndYear=2013&Results=50">number of bills</a> have been introduced since to partially repeal that preemption.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
