AI Summary

This bill amends Michigan's Income Tax Act to provide a tax deduction for broadband expansion grants. Specifically, for individual, corporate, and flow-through entity income taxes, the bill allows taxpayers to deduct grant money received from various federal, state, and local programs aimed at providing, improving, or expanding broadband access. The list of eligible grants includes numerous federal and state programs such as the Broadband Expansion Act of Michigan, the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program, and the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, among others. Correspondingly, the bill requires taxpayers to add back any expenses, including depreciation, attributed to these grants. The bill is retroactive, applying to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and is designed to support efforts to improve broadband infrastructure and digital connectivity across Michigan by providing a tax incentive for entities receiving broadband expansion grants.
