Economic development: brownfield redevelopment authority; brownfield tax increment financing credits; modify. Amends secs. 2, 12, 13 & 13b of 1996 PA 381 (MCL 125.2652 et seq.).

HB 5395 modifies Michigan's Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act to update tax credit rules for cleaning and redeveloping contaminated properties. The bill revises definitions of "blighted" property (including previously developed land and land bank properties) and clarifies how tax revenue captured during redevelopment - specifically construction-phase income taxes on wages - will be calculated and reinvested. Local authorities, developers, and municipalities working on brownfield sites will directly use these revised rules for tax increment financing. The changes aim to streamline financing for projects that clean up environmental hazards while redeveloping underutilized land.
