MI HB4022

Establishes an incentive program for cities, villages, townships, and counties that received revenue sharing payments under 2015 PA 84 to qualify for additional payments up to 20% of their prior year payment.

Provides four bonus categories with specific percentages: consolidation of services (8.0%), workforce reduction (4.0%), budget reduction (4.0%), and balanced budget (4.0%).

Requires eligible jurisdictions to certify compliance with category criteria, including submitting a cooperation and consolidation plan to the Department of Treasury for Category 1; workforce reduction of at least 5.0% or 3 employees since January 1, 2012 for Category 2; 5.0% budget reduction since January 1, 2012 for Category 3; and maintaining balanced budgets for 2 consecutive years since January 1, 2012 for Category 4.

Distributes incentive payments on the last business day of October, December, February, April, June, and August; jurisdictions that fail to submit required certifications by the payment deadline forfeit that month's payment, and those that falsify documents must repay all received incentive payments.

Once a jurisdiction qualifies for increased payments, it continues to receive those payments in subsequent fiscal years without requiring additional verification.
