Introduced
by
To repeal a law that requires Detroit to gradually reduce its city income tax to 2.0 percent for residents and 1.0 percent for non-residents who work in the city. The law lets Detroit postpone annual one-tenth of a percent reductions if certain conditions apply, which has been the case since 2004, but will not apply this year. Under the bill Detroit’s income tax would remain at 2.5 percent for residents and 1.25 percent for non-residents who work in the city.
Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
Reported without amendment
Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
Amendment offered

To only allow cities to levy an income tax if they do not pass or enforce an ordinance or regulation that prohibits local officials and peace officers from cooperating with federal immigration authorities in matters "concerning the immigration status" of a resident alien. Although the amendment passed, its provisions were not included in the Gaffney substitute that was subsequently adopted, and so is not in the House-passed version of the bill.
The amendment passed by voice vote
