This morning the House Tax Policy Committee took testimony from the Lieutenant Governor on a ten bill package that represents months of negotiations on personal property tax (PPT) reform. The Michigan Municipal League’s message on PPT has consistently been 100 percent, guaranteed replacement. The bills do represent 100 percent replacement and a more stable reimbursement mechanism.

The bills, Senate Bills 821-830, will receive another day of testimony tomorrow (3/12). We anticipate the bills moving quickly through the legislative process, likely before spring break in April.
