AI Summary

  • Restricts local taxing units from holding millage elections (new, increased, or renewed property taxes) to only the November general election date, effective January 1, 2027.

  • Prior to January 1, 2027, taxing units may hold up to 2 millage elections per calendar year; this limit is eliminated after the November-only requirement takes effect.

  • Requires millage ballot proposals to disclose the millage rate, estimated first-year revenue, duration in years, purpose, and whether it is a renewal or new millage.

  • Prohibits combining a millage renewal with a new additional millage greater than 0.5 mills in a single ballot question; these must be presented as separate questions.

  • Amends sections 24f and 36 of Michigan's General Property Tax Act (1893 PA 206) to implement these election timing restrictions.
