Abstract
(HB6005 · 103rd Legislature) Property tax: Headlee; calculation of Headlee rollback; modify. Amends sec. 34d of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.34d). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5996’26 Sponsor: Rep. Regina Weiss (D) + 2 co-sponsors In committee: H Government Operations Latest action (2026-05-21): Bill Electronically Reproduced 05/20/2026
Why this matters
The Headlee rollback caps how much local property tax millages can grow when taxable values rise faster than inflation, directly affecting homeowners’ tax bills and local government revenues. Adjusting the calculation formula can shift the balance between taxpayer relief and funding for schools, counties, and municipalities. Because HB 6005 is tie-barred to HB 5996, the substantive impact depends on the companion bill advancing as well.
