2021 Senate Bill 437 / Public Act 27

Extend deadline on a particular developer’s subsidy

Introduced in the Senate

May 12, 2021

Introduced by Sen. Wayne Schmidt (R-37)

To give a deadline extension to a particular developer who was granted a $10 million state income tax "credit" for a project in Detroit to be completed within a specified time period. Without this bill the developer would not get the tax credit, which also makes him eligible for an $8.5 million check from the state Treasury because 85% of this "credit" is "refundable," meaning it's payable in cash.

Referred to the Committee on Economic and Small Business Development

May 25, 2021

Reported without amendment

With the recommendation that the substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
