Abstract
(HB6065 · 103rd Legislature) Individual income tax: credit; make it in Michigan tax credit program; create. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding sec. 279. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6061’26, HB 6062’26, HB 6063’26, HB 6064’26 Latest action (2026-06-10): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/09/2026
Why this matters
The ‘Make It in Michigan’ credit would add a new individual income tax expenditure aimed at economic development and worker attraction/retention, layering onto existing state tools rather than modifying them. Because it is tie-barred to a four-bill package (HB 6061–6064) that also includes student loan repayment credits, none of the credits take effect unless the full package passes — a signal of intent to launch a unified talent strategy. Fiscal impact to the state, eligibility rules, and interaction with existing credits will determine what workers and taxpayers actually receive.
