Introduced in the House on April 29, 2009, to appropriate $159 million in federal “stimulus” money that currently is being reserved for next year’s school budget, and another $59 million the House proposes getting from various tax hikes, to “undo” school spending reductions implemented by Gov.

2009 Senate Bill 641 (Retroactively repeal “supportive housing” tax break tie-bar )

admin — Mon, 01 Jan 2001 05:00:00 GMT

Introduced in the Senate on June 16, 2009, to retroactively repeal the provision that “tie-barred” Public Act 456 of 2008 to House Bills 5437 and 5438 of 2007, meaning that this new law could not go into effect unless those bills also became law, which HB 5438 did not. PA 456 would exempt "supportive housing property” from the 18 mills of property taxes schools are allowed to levy for operational expenses. "Supportive housing property” is defined as property developed by a nonprofit organization for low and moderate income individuals eligible for government mental health benefits. House Bills 5437 and 5438 of 2007 would have given the Michigan State Housing Developing Authority the power to grant the tax breaks to certain nonprofit organizations it selects
