HB 6126: Gaming: other; expenditures under the internet sports betting fund; modify. Amends secs. 15 & 16 of 2019 PA 149 (MCL 432.415 & 432.416)

This bill modifies how tax revenue from internet sports betting in Michigan is distributed among various state and local funds. It requires that thirty percent of the tax go to the city where the betting operator's casino is located for uses such as hiring street patrol officers, neighborhood development, public safety improvements, and road repairs. The remaining revenue is allocated to the state, with specific mandatory payments to the compulsive gaming prevention fund, a first responder coverage fund, and tribal governments for essential services. Any money left over after these designated expenses must be deposited into the state school aid fund to support public education.

HB 6074: Property: land sales; purchase of residential property by certain businesses; prohibit. Creates new act.

This bill prohibits large institutional investors from buying single-family homes in Michigan to prevent corporate ownership of residential properties. It defines these investors as for-profit entities managing or owning over 100 homes statewide with at least $375 million in assets, while allowing exceptions for new construction projects or those that renovate homes with significant improvements. The law applies to various acquisition methods, including mergers and foreclosures, and sets a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per home for any violations.

HB 6127: Gaming: other; expenditures in the internet gaming fund; modify. Amends secs. 14 & 16 of 2019 PA 152 (MCL 432.314 & 432.316).

This bill modifies Michigan's internet gaming laws to update tax rates and specify how money from the internet gaming fund is spent. It establishes a graduated tax structure where non-tribal online gaming operators pay between 20% and 28% based on their annual earnings, while tribal operators follow existing rules. The legislation also details a spending order for the gaming fund, requiring payments for regulatory costs, bingo administration, and prevention programs before allocating fixed amounts to tribal governments and first responder health funds, with any remaining money going to public school aid.

HB 6043: Children: child care; Tri-Share child care program and fund and CareShare arrangement; establish. Amends 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 - 722.128) by adding secs. 6b & 6c.

This bill establishes the Tri-Share child care program and a dedicated state fund to support employers who cover at least one-third of their employees' child care costs. The program allows participating employers to contribute up to the full cost of care, while the state fund will be used to administer the initiative and support child care facilitator hubs. Additionally, the legislation creates a separate CareShare arrangement for employers on waitlists for the main program, ensuring they can still offer cost-sharing without receiving state subsidies. The bill includes protections against employer retaliation for employees seeking to participate and requires annual public reporting on program usage and costs.

HB 6130: Education: financing; Michigan trust fund act; modify. Amends sec. 12 of 2000 PA 489 (MCL 12.262).

This bill modifies the Michigan Trust Fund Act to establish a permanent Community District Education Trust Fund designed to help schools in specific districts that are currently prohibited from raising local taxes. The fund will be financed by depositing up to $617 million in tobacco settlement revenue starting in fiscal year 2017, with the money used to cover gaps in state funding for these districts. The legislation also sets a sunset provision requiring that any remaining balance in the fund be transferred to the state school aid fund after September 30, 2026.

SB 966: Housing: housing development authority; housing opportunity tax credit program; establish and administer. Amends sec. 22 of 1966 PA 346 (MCL 125.1422) & adds sec. 22e. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5806'26, HB 5807'26

SB 966 amends the State Housing Development Authority Act of 1966 to add new powers for the State Housing Development Authority in Michigan. The bill allows the authority to establish and collect fees for its publications, loans, and related services, and to use the resulting income for its corporate purposes. These funds are not considered interest and can be used to support the authority's housing initiatives, provided they are not pledged for bond repayment. The legislation directly affects the State Housing Development Authority by expanding its financial and operational capabilities to better serve housing needs across Michigan.

SB 989: Education: teachers and administrators; interim teaching certification process; modify. Amends sec. 1531i of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1531i).

This bill modifies Michigan's interim teaching certification process to establish stricter requirements for individuals seeking to teach without a full teaching certificate. It mandates that all candidates complete an approved alternative program with intensive training equivalent to at least 12 college credits, including coursework in child development, diverse learners, and classroom experience. A significant change is the prohibition of new interim certificates for special education teaching starting July 21, 2027, which requires applicants to complete an additional 32-credit specialized training program unless they already hold a full teaching certificate. The legislation also ensures that teachers holding these interim certificates receive intensive observation and coaching while they work toward earning a permanent Michigan teaching certificate.

HB 5995: Traffic control: driver license; points from violations captured by automated traffic enforcement devices; prohibit. Amends sec. 320a of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.320a).

This bill proposes to prohibit the assignment of driver license points for violations detected by automated traffic enforcement devices. It directly affects drivers in Michigan who receive citations from cameras or sensors rather than human officers. The key mechanism is an amendment to the state vehicle code that removes the ability for these automated systems to trigger point penalties on licenses. Currently, the bill is in the early stages of review and has not yet been passed into law.

HB 5807: Insurance: other; housing opportunity tax credits against the retaliatory tax; provide for. Amends secs. 476a & 476b of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.476a & 500.476b). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5805'26, HB 5806'26

This bill allows foreign insurance companies operating in Michigan to reduce their retaliatory tax liability by using housing opportunity tax credits. It directly affects alien or foreign insurers by permitting them to subtract the value of these credits from the taxes they must pay to the state treasurer. The key mechanism requires insurers to attach proof of their credit eligibility to their annual tax return to claim this subtraction. This change only applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and the bill will not take effect unless two companion bills are also passed.

HB 5806 creates a new state tax credit for individuals and businesses that invest in affordable housing projects in Michigan starting in 2027. The bill allows these investors to reduce their income tax by a specific amount tied to their share of the project, provided they receive approval from the State Housing Development Authority.

SB 903: School aid: other; requirements for districts to receive weighted funding; provide for. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1280h.

This bill requires Michigan school districts and public academies receiving specific weighted funding to use those funds for student achievement, including literacy, math, and direct English language development instruction. To qualify for this aid, districts must administer standardized English proficiency tests, implement a data-driven multi-tiered support system for all grades, and report detailed information to parents and the state department about how the money is spent. The legislation also mandates that districts allow state audits of their records and permits up to 2% of the funds to cover administrative costs related to compliance. Importantly, the bill will only take effect if a companion bill establishing the specific funding formula is also passed into law.
