HB 4611 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Property tax: other; act regarding the right to manage and contract entireties property; revise gender-specific language. Amends title & sec. 1 of 1975 PA 288 (MCL 557.71). TIE BAR WITH: HJR F'25

HB 4611 updates Michigan's 1975 property law to replace gender-specific terms like "husband and wife" with gender-neutral language ("spouses") in rules governing property held as tenants by the entirety. This change ensures the law's wording is inclusive but does not alter the existing equal rights of married couples to manage and share income from such property. The bill requires a related constitutional amendment to take effect, as noted in its enacting section.
