\"Act<\/a>The Michigan Municipal League needs your help THIS MORNING to support a bill that would move the payment of a property tax credit for disabled veterans from local governments to the state. House Bill 4986<\/a> would change the current 100 percent disabled veterans\u2019 property tax credit from a local cost to a state liability. The bill is going before the House Tax Policy committee at 10:30 a.m. today.\u00a0Please contact the members of the House Tax Policy committee this morning before the hearing to encourage them to support HB 4986<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> The League and other local government groups have been working on this change\u00a0since the law was enacted several years ago.\u00a0This property tax credit for disabled veterans’ costs local governments more than $20 million a year (and growing) in local revenues. HB 4986 would have no impact on the benefit that these veterans qualify for because it simply changes who pays for it.<\/p>\n

Here is the list of Representatives on this tax policy committee, with links to their bio pages that contains their contact information:<\/p>\n

Jim Tedder<\/a>\u00a0(R) Committee Chair, 43rd District
\nDavid Maturen<\/a>\u00a0(R) Majority Vice-Chair, 63rd District
\nMartin Howrylak<\/a>\u00a0(R) 41st District
\nEric Leutheuser<\/a>\u00a0(R) 58th District
\nPeter Lucido<\/a>\u00a0(R) 36th District
\nHank Vaupel<\/a>\u00a0(R) 47th District
\nSteven Johnson<\/a>\u00a0(R) 72nd District
\nBronna Kahle<\/a>\u00a0(R) 57th District
\nJames Lower<\/a>\u00a0(R) 70th District
\nWendell Byrd<\/a>\u00a0(D) Minority Vice-Chair, 3rd District<\/p>\n

The League truly appreciates your prompt help this morning to support this bill.<\/p>\n
