MI HB5279

Modifies the definition of "qualified local governmental unit" to simplify eligibility from multiple specific criteria to any city, village, or township.

Removes previous restrictions based on median family income thresholds, population sizes, census designations, and property valuation increases that previously limited which municipalities could participate.

Eliminates references to the 1990 federal decennial census income comparisons and distressed area designations that were used to determine eligible jurisdictions.

Broadens access to the obsolete property rehabilitation exemption certificate program by allowing any local governmental unit to establish rehabilitation districts for commercial and residential properties.
