Introduced
by
To increase the $4,000 personal exemption currently allowed under the Michigan state income tax, so as to offset changes in the recently enacted federal tax reform law that reportedly could interact with Michigan law in a way that causes many to owe more state income tax. The bill would immediately increase the state personal exemption to $4,500, and then gradually raise it to $4,800 by 2021. See also House Bill 5404.
Referred to the Committee on Finance

Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to legislation that would repeal the provision of Gov. Rick Snyder's 2011 tax reform and business tax cut that eliminated some of the state income tax exemptions for pension income. This means the bill could not become law unless a bill making that other change is also enacted.
