2016 Senate Bill 1065

Senate Roll Call 635: Passed

To authorize excluding local income taxes from the tax exemptions authorized for owners or occupants of property in a “renaissance zone,” if the property is also part of very large real estate project whose developers were benefitting from the cash subsidies proposed by Senate Bills 1153 and 1154. Those subsidies use the device of "abating" income tax withholding requirements, and reportedly are intended for Detroit developer Dan Gilbert and possibly others around the state.
