(2) In fiscal year 2014-2015 and fiscal year 2015-2016, the
authority shall distribute to municipalities those funds
appropriated under subsection (1)(a). However, in fiscal year 2014-
2015, if the authority is not able to make the distribution under
this subsection, the department shall make the distribution under
this subsection on behalf of the authority.
(3) For calendar years 2014 and 2015, the authority shall
distribute local community stabilization share revenue to each city
in an amount determined by multiplying the sum of the local
community stabilization share revenue for the calendar years and
the amounts calculated under section 14(3)(e) and (f) by a
fraction, the numerator of which is that city's amount calculated
under section 14(3)(d) and the denominator of which is the total
amount calculated under section 14(3)(d), and subtracting from the
result each city's amounts calculated under section 14(3)(e) and
(f).
(4) Beginning for calendar year 2016, the authority shall
distribute local community stabilization share revenue as follows
in the following order of priority:
(a) The authority shall distribute to each municipality an
amount equal to all of the following:
(i) 100% of that municipality's school debt loss in the
current year as calculated under section 13(4) and 100% of its
amount calculated under section 15.
(ii) 100% of that municipality's amount calculated under
section 16.
(iii) 100% of that municipality's school operating loss not
reimbursed by the school aid fund in the current year, calculated
by multiplying the operating millage rate reported under section
13(4) or the operating millage rate calculated under section 13(5)
by the local school district's personal property exemption loss for
the personal property subject to the respective millage reimbursed
under this subparagraph.
(iv) 100% of the amount calculated in section 14(2). However,
the
amount distributed to a municipality under this subparagraph
shall
not exceed the amount calculated in section 14(1)(d). All For
calendar years 2016 and 2017 only, however, the amount distributed
to a municipality under this subparagraph shall not exceed the
amount calculated in section 14(1)(d). For all calendar years, all
distributions under this subparagraph shall be used to fund
essential services.
(v) For a municipality that is a tax increment finance
authority, 100% of its amount calculated under section 16a(2), as
confirmed or adjusted by the department. For calculations made
under section 16a(2), as modified by section 16b(2), in calendar
years 2016 and 2017 only, amounts claimed for increased captured
value shall be included as claimed.
(vi) 100% of that municipality's amount calculated under
section 14(4).
(b)
Beginning for calendar year 2019, 2021, after the
distributions under subdivision (a), and subject to subparagraph
(viii), the authority shall distribute 5% of the
remaining balance
of
the local community stabilization share fund an amount equal to
15% of the total qualified loss for the current calendar year to
each municipality that is not a local school district, intermediate
school district, or tax increment finance authority in an amount
determined as follows:
(i) Calculate the total acquisition cost of all eligible
personal property in the municipality.
(ii) Multiply the result of the calculation in subparagraph
(i) by the sum of the lowest rate of each
individual millage levied
by
the municipality in the period between 2012 and the year
immediately
preceding the current year as
calculated under section
13(5) that is not used to calculate a distribution under
subdivision
(a)(i) to (iv). For an individual millage rate not
levied
in 1 of the years, the lowest millage rate is zero. A
millage
used to make the calculation under this subparagraph must
be
eligible to be levied against both real property and personal
property.
(iii) Divide the sum of the amounts calculated under
subparagraph (ii) for all municipalities subject to the calculation
by total qualified loss.
(iv) Multiply the result of the calculation in subparagraph
(iii) by the difference between the amount calculated under section
16a(2) for captured taxes for each individual millage levied by the
municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured
value and the subtraction amounts calculated under section
14(2)(d), (2)(f), and (4)(d) for that millage.
(v) Subtract from the amount calculated under subparagraph
(ii) the amount calculated under subparagraph (iv) for the
individual millage levied.
(vi) Divide the result of the calculation in subparagraph (v)
by the sum of the calculation under subparagraph (v) for all
millages for all municipalities.
(vii) Multiply the result of the calculation in subparagraph
(vi) by the amount to be distributed under this subdivision.
(viii) For calendar year 2020, 2022, and
each calendar year
thereafter, the percentage amount described in this subdivision
shall be increased an additional 5% each year, not to exceed 100%.
(c)
After For calendar years 2016
and 2017, after the
distributions
in subdivisions subdivision
(a), and (b), the
authority shall distribute the remaining balance of the local
community stabilization share fund for a calendar year to each
municipality in an amount determined by multiplying the remaining
balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is that
municipality's qualified loss and the denominator of which is the
total qualified loss. Beginning for calendar year 2018, after the
distributions in subdivisions (a) and (b), the authority shall
distribute local community stabilization share revenue under this
subdivision to each municipality in an amount determined by
multiplying total qualified loss minus the total amount distributed
in subdivision (b) for a calendar year by a fraction, the numerator
of which is that municipality's qualified loss and the denominator
of which is the total qualified loss.
(d) After the distributions under subdivisions (a) to (c),
beginning for calendar year 2018, the department shall adjust the
amounts calculated under subdivisions (b) and (c) for a
municipality by the amount of any overpayment to that municipality
under those subdivisions for that calendar year and the authority
shall distribute to a municipality the amount of any underpayment
calculated under subsection (5) for calendar years after 2016.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, after
the distributions under subdivisions (a) to (d), the authority
shall distribute the remaining balance of the local community
stabilization share fund for the calendar year to each municipality
that is not a local school district, intermediate school district,
or tax increment finance authority in an amount determined by
multiplying the remaining balance by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of that municipality's amount received under
subdivisions (b), (c), and (d), only to the extent that the
distribution under subdivision (d) is for an underpayment of the
current calendar year's subdivisions (b) or (c) amount, and the
adjustment under subdivision (d), and the denominator of which is
the sum of the total amount distributed under subdivisions (b),
(c), and (d), only to the extent that the distribution under
subdivision (d) is for an underpayment of the current calendar
year's subdivisions (b) or (c) amount, and the total adjustments
under subdivision (d). For a municipality that, in total, was
overpaid under subdivisions (a), (b), and (c), the distribution
under this subdivision shall be reduced by any positive amount
determined by subtracting the corrected amounts under subdivisions
(a) to (c) for that municipality from the distributed amounts under
subdivisions (a) to (c) for that municipality and subtracting
$10,000.00. If the resulting distribution amount is negative, the
municipality has been overpaid for the year by the amount of the
negative balance. The municipality shall pay to the authority the
amount of the overpayment in 3 equal annual payments, due by
September 20 1 year following notice of the overpayment and by
September 20 of the subsequent 2 years. A municipality may pay the
amount of the overpayment at any time during the 3-year period. If
a municipality fails to repay the amount of the overpayment as
provided in this subdivision, the authority shall add interest to
the entire amount of the original overpayment from the date of
notice of the overpayment and may reduce subsequent distributions
to the municipality under this section to recover the outstanding
balance of the overpayment and interest. Interest added under this
subdivision shall be at the rate determined under section 23 of
1941 PA 122, MCL 205.23. Any overpayment amounts repaid to the
authority under this subdivision by September 30 of each year shall
be added to the local community stabilization share revenue
available for distribution for the calendar year. If reductions to
distributions calculated under this section result in the authority
having a year-end balance of local community stabilization share
revenue, that revenue shall be added to the local community
stabilization share revenue available for distribution for the
subsequent calendar year.
(5) The department and authority shall administer overpayments
and underpayments as follows:
(a) For calendar years before 2016, if a municipality received
an overpayment under this section due to an error in reporting or
calculation, the authority may reduce a subsequent payment to the
municipality or bill the municipality to recover the overpayment.
(b) Before November 7, 2017, the department shall recalculate
2016 payments to correct any errors in reporting under section
13(3) or (4) and any calculation errors made by the department, and
adjust the 2017 payment to each municipality for any change in its
2016 payment.
(c) For calendar year 2018, for any errors in reporting under
section 13(3) or (4) in calendar year 2017 or 2018, any calculation
errors made by the department in calendar year 2017 or 2018, or any
prior year error adjustment used in the calculation of the calendar
year 2017 distributions, that resulted in an underpayment or
overpayment under this section to a municipality for the prior
calendar year or current calendar year, the department shall
calculate the amount of underpayment or overpayment. For each
municipality, the department shall add together the calendar year
2016 and calendar year 2017 underpayment and overpayment amounts.
If a municipality has a net underpayment for calendar years 2016
and 2017, the amount of the net underpayment shall be added to the
calendar year 2018 underpayment or overpayment amount for that
municipality. If a municipality has a net overpayment for calendar
years 2016 and 2017, the amount of the net overpayment shall be
excused by the authority and shall not be added to the calendar
year 2018 underpayment or overpayment amount for that municipality.
The following apply to determining underpayment or overpayment
amounts:
(i) For calendar year 2016, the underpayment or overpayment of
a municipality's qualified loss shall be calculated by multiplying
the municipality's qualified loss by 261.3820%.
(ii) For calendar year 2017, the underpayment or overpayment
of a municipality's qualified loss shall be calculated by
multiplying the municipality's qualified loss by 292.4677%.
(d) Beginning for calendar year 2019, for any errors in
reporting under section 13(3) or (4), and for any calculation
errors made by the department, that resulted in an underpayment or
overpayment under this section to a municipality for the current
calendar year, the department shall calculate the amount of
underpayment or overpayment. A calculation made under this
subdivision shall not recalculate a prior year payment.
(e) Except as provided in subsection (6), any underpayment
shall be paid to the municipality as provided in subsection (4)(d).
any underpayment amount determined by the department to be the
fault of that municipality, by either the municipality reporting
inaccurate information or filing information after the reporting
due dates, shall not be included in any payment made under
subsection (4)(d) or (6).
(f) For any overpayment for which the state treasurer
determines that the municipality was at fault and acted in bad
faith, the department may calculate the amount of the overpayment
for all years to which the bad faith applied without any adjustment
and the municipality shall immediately repay the amount of the
overpayment and interest to the authority within 30 days following
notice of the overpayment. If a municipality fails to repay the
amount of the overpayment and interest to the authority, the
authority shall reduce subsequent payments to the municipality
under this section to recover the outstanding balance of the
overpayment and interest. Interest added under this subsection
shall be at the rate determined under section 23 of 1941 PA 122,
MCL 205.23. Any overpayment amounts repaid to the authority under
this subsection by September 30 of each year shall be added to the
local community stabilization share revenue available for
distribution for the calendar year. Any reduction of subsequent
payments due to municipalities failing to repay the amount of the
overpayment and interest shall be added to the local community
stabilization share revenue available for distribution for the
subsequent calendar year.
(6) If a municipality received an underpayment under this
section of $500,000.00 or more for calendar year 2017 due to an
error in reporting under section 13(3) or (4), or a calculation
error made by the department, including a prior year error
adjustment used in the calculation of the calendar year 2017
distributions, the municipality may notify the department of any
errors identified by providing substantiating documentation to
support an adjustment to the payment amount by August 1, 2018. Upon
the department's review of the substantiating documentation and
verification of the errors, the department shall calculate an
underpayment amount in accordance with subsection (5)(c). The
underpayment amount shall be calculated using the appropriate
proration factor provided for under subsection (5)(c). The
department shall determine if the substantiating documentation is
sufficient. The department shall notify the authority to make an
advance 2018 payment to the municipality for the amount of the 2017
underpayment. The advance payment shall be deducted from the
municipality's payment for calendar year 2018 that includes the
distribution under subsection (4)(d).
(7) For payments received beginning October 20, 2018, a
municipality shall do all of the following:

under this section based on the portion of the municipality's
payment attributable to each millage levied by the municipality.
The portion of the payment allocated to each millage other than the
general operating millage shall be considered restricted and
recorded by the municipality in the same manner as the millage
levied. As used in this subsection, "100% reimbursement" means the
amounts received under subsection (4)(a), (b), (c), and (d), only
to the extent that the distribution under subsection (4)(d) is for
an underpayment of the current calendar year's subsection (4)(a),
(b), or (c) amount.
(b) For millage levied by a county under section 20b of 1909
PA 283, MCL 224.20b, the governing bodies of the cities and
villages in the county and the board of county road commissioners
shall agree to a formula that allocates a portion of the payments
under this section to each city and village based on the city and
village share of the losses and acquisition cost used to calculate
the payment to the county described in this subdivision and each
city's and village's portion of that share. The formula once
established will be in effect until the effective date of any
subsequent agreement. If the governing bodies of the cities and
villages and the board of county road commissioners described in
this subdivision do not agree on a formula by March 31 following
the receipt of the subsection (8)(b) payment, the department may
prescribe a formula for allocating the payments under this section.
(c) Payments under this section to a municipality that is
participating in an intergovernmental conditional transfer by
contract under 1984 PA 425, MCL 124.21 to 124.30, or any other
interlocal agreement that provides for a millage-based sharing of
revenue, shall be allocated between the parties based on the
