SB 984: State management: other; software that accurately reproduces a person's name; require state agencies to use. Amends 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1101 - 18.1594) by adding sec. 271.

Senate Bill 984 requires state agencies in Michigan to use software that accurately reproduces a person's name on official documents. Specifically, the law mandates that such software must correctly display hyphens, bicapitalization, and apostrophes within names. This provision directly affects government employees who create communications or records containing individual names. The bill aims to prevent errors in how names appear on state-issued paperwork by setting a technical standard for the software used.

SB 983: Taxation: hotel-motel; excise tax on rentals of accommodations; allow local units of government to levy. Creates new act.

This bill allows Michigan cities, villages, and townships to vote on whether to impose a 3% excise tax on short-term rentals of accommodations to guests staying fewer than 30 days. If approved by local voters, the tax would be collected by either the property owner or online booking platforms and administered by the state Department of Treasury. The law requires local governments to publicly report how much tax revenue they collect and how they spend it, while also establishing a process for the state to withhold funds if a locality fails to submit these reports.

This bill allows certain Michigan nonprofit organizations to claim a tax credit against state income tax withholdings for wages paid to qualified employees. The credit applies to tax years starting on or after January 1, 2026, and is limited to 50% of the amount the employer would have received under a federal work opportunity credit. To qualify, employees must be Michigan residents certified by the state unemployment agency as members of a targeted group, and the credit cannot be refunded if it exceeds the employer's withholding tax liability. The legislation also requires that any unused federal credits from previous years be excluded from the calculation. The bill will only take effect if a companion bill, SB 995, is also passed into law.

SB 982: Trade: business practices; dynamic pricing of gasoline; prohibit. Amends sec. 28e of 1964 PA 283 (MCL 290.628e). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0993'26

This bill prohibits gas stations in Michigan from using dynamic pricing systems that automatically adjust fuel prices based on factors like time of day, weather, or customer data. It directly affects roadside retail locations selling motor fuel by banning algorithms that change prices outside of normal business hours or based on individual consumer characteristics. The legislation also requires businesses to keep records of any price changes for at least 12 months and defines specific rules for how fuel prices must be advertised. Violations of the dynamic pricing ban would be treated as offenses under the state's consumer protection laws. The bill will only take effect if a companion bill, SB 993, is also passed into law.

The law defines social media platforms as websites or apps where users generate their own content to communicate with others, while excluding services like email or those with preselected content.
