Economic development: enterprise zones; HOPE zone exemption; provide for. Amends sec. 21c of 1985 PA 224 (MCL 125.2121c). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5852'26, HB 5856'26

This bill modifies Michigan's Enterprise Zone Act to clarify tax exemptions for properties located in Renaissance or HOPE zones, ensuring these areas receive specific tax relief. It explicitly states that casinos and their associated facilities, such as hotels and retail stores, are excluded from these exemptions. The legislation also outlines how any remaining specific taxes not covered by the exemption must be distributed among the local taxing units that originally imposed them. This change is contingent upon the passage of two related companion bills, HB 5852 and HB 5856, before it can take effect.
