HB 5808: School aid: penalties; exception to minimum days of pupil instruction requirement for certain closures; modify. Amends sec. 101 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1701).

This bill modifies Michigan's school aid act to adjust how state funding is withheld from school districts that fail to meet minimum instructional day requirements due to closures. It specifically creates an exception for districts losing instructional days to conditions beyond their control, allowing them to avoid penalties for those specific days while maintaining a lower attendance threshold of 60% instead of the standard 75% for added calendar days. The legislation also clarifies that hours or days lost during strikes or teacher conferences do not count toward the minimum instructional requirements. By updating these rules, the bill aims to provide flexibility for districts facing unexpected closures while ensuring they still adhere to core accountability standards for student attendance and instruction.

This bill creates a new state tax credit program designed to encourage private investment in community development projects across Michigan. It allows qualified taxpayers to claim a credit equal to 25% of their eligible investment, increasing to 50% for projects involving historic rehabilitation, rural development, or areas with low-income populations. To receive the credit, applicants must demonstrate local support and prove that the project would not happen without the financial incentive, while the state fund reviews applications based on criteria such as economic soundness and the potential to revitalize blighted or vacant properties. The legislation sets annual spending limits for the program, requires projects to be completed within three years, and mandates that at least 20% of the credits go to rural or small-scale initiatives.

SB 910: Insurance: health insurers; insurance coverage and affordability task force; establish. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3478.

SB 910 creates a new Insurance Coverage and Affordability Task Force within Michigan's legislative council to evaluate proposed mandates requiring health insurers to cover specific benefits. The task force will include representatives from various sectors, such as hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and employers, who will serve without pay but can be reimbursed for expenses. Its primary function is to conduct a thorough review of any bill that would force insurers to provide new health benefits by analyzing the proposal's social impact, financial costs, and medical effectiveness before it proceeds. This body must hold public meetings and make its findings available to the public, ensuring that decisions about mandatory health coverage are based on evidence regarding patient needs, economic feasibility, and clinical utility.
