Individual income tax: credit; make it in Michigan tax credit program; create. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding sec. 279. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6061'26, HB 6062'26, HB 6063'26, HB 6064'26

This bill creates a new "Make It In Michigan" tax credit program designed to encourage recent college graduates to live and work in the state. To qualify, individuals must be Michigan residents employed by local businesses and must have earned a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited institution after the law takes effect. The legislation defines specific terms for eligible employees, students, and loans, while also renaming existing tax credits under sections 279a, 279b, 679, and 679a to reflect this new program name. Crucially, the bill will not become effective unless four companion bills regarding the program's funding and administration are also passed into law.
