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 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.

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: Individual income tax: credit; housing opportunity tax credits; create. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding secs. 281 & 678. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5805'26, HB 5807'26

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. It also establishes rules for how investors must report the credit, handle situations where federal tax credits are lost, and carry forward any unused credit for up to 10 years.

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.

This bill would require Michigan teacher preparation programs to mandate specific literacy training for all participants by September 2027. The legislation adds new requirements to the state's school code, making completion of LETRS training and comprehensive knowledge of the science of reading mandatory for graduation from these programs. Specifically, all individuals in teacher preparation programs must complete LETRS training, and those who teach literacy or reading methods courses must also demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of reading science. The bill applies to both traditional teacher preparation programs and alternative teaching programs, with the state department responsible for enforcing these new approval standards.

This bill requires K-5 teachers and literacy support staff in Michigan to complete specific professional training focused on reading and literacy instruction by the 2029-2030 school year. The legislation designates a single state-approved provider to deliver the training, which must cover evidence-based reading methods, assessment strategies, and a multitiered system of supports for addressing learning difficulties. School districts must report annual compliance data to the state department, which will publish public reports on implementation progress and recommend funding adjustments as needed. The training includes mandatory components on phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and data-driven decision-making, with phased implementation beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
