2009 House Bill 4758

Retroactively repeal “supportive housing” tax break tie-bar

Introduced in the House

April 2, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Marie Donigan (D-26)

To retroactively repeal the provision that “tie-barred” <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2008-HB-6493">Public Act 456 of 2008</a> 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 they 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.
