Abstract
(SB0899 · 103rd Legislature) Economic development: brownfield redevelopment authority; environmental brownfield redevelopment program; modify. Amends sec. 8a of 1996 PA 381 (MCL 125.2658a). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0898’26 Latest action (2026-06-17): Referred To Committee On Economic Competitiveness
Why this matters
Brownfield redevelopment authorities are a primary tool Michigan municipalities use to finance cleanup and reuse of contaminated or blighted sites, so changes to the 1996 PA 381 framework affect how local governments capture tax increment and structure remediation projects. SB0899’s tie-bar with SB0898 signals a coordinated package touching both the authority statute and the underlying environmental remediation program, which together shape ratepayer-adjacent redevelopment costs and cleanup standards.
