MI HB6076

Amends Section 2150 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to clarify that tax payments in lieu of taxes on state-controlled lands include special assessments.

Establishes tiered per-acre payment rates: $2.50 before December 1, 1994; $2.00 from November 30, 1994 to December 31, 2013; $3.00 from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014; and $4.00 after December 31, 2014, adjusted annually by 5% or the inflation rate, whichever is less.

Exempts lands purchased after January 1, 1933 for natural resource purposes and state lands where other payments in lieu of taxes are already made.

Requires the Department of Treasury to distribute payments to counties on December 1 each year, with counties then distributing funds to townships and school districts proportionally based on acreage located in each jurisdiction.

Specifies distribution percentages: before December 1, 1994, payments go 40% to county general fund, 40% to township general fund, and 20% to school operating fund; after November 30, 1994, payments go 50% to county general fund and 50% to township general fund.
