AI Summary

This bill modifies Michigan's individual income tax rates and provisions, establishing a complex schedule of tax rate changes from 2023 to 2026. Specifically, the income tax rate will decrease to 4.05% on January 1, 2023, then increase back to 4.25% on January 1, 2024, before potentially reducing again to 4.05% on January 1, 2025. The bill introduces a unique "triggering mechanism" for future rate reductions that depends on state revenue growth: if general fund/general purpose revenue increases more than the inflation rate in a given year, the tax rate will be automatically reduced. The calculation for this reduction is based on a complex formula involving current revenue, historical revenue, and inflation. The bill also adjusts how income tax revenues are allocated to the state school aid fund, specifying different percentages for various time periods from 2024 to 2026. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to revenue calculations, including terms like "Consumer Price Index" and "total general fund/general purpose revenue," and makes technical language modifications to existing tax law provisions.
