school district, the department shall do all of the following:

 

     (a) Calculate the municipality's personal property exemption

 

loss.

 

     (b) Multiply the result of the calculation in subdivision (a)

 

by the millage rates calculated under section 13(5).

 

     (c) Adjust For calendar year 2017 calculations only, adjust

 

the amount calculated under subdivision (b) by the amount required

 

to reflect the final order of a court or body of competent

 

jurisdiction related to changes in prior year taxable values that

 

affect any prior year calculation under this section and that can

 

be calculated from taxable values reported under section 151(1) of

 

the state school aid act of 1979, 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1751.

 

     (d) Subtract from the result of the calculation in subdivision


(b), as adjusted by subdivision (c), the amount calculated under

 

section 16a(2) for captured taxes levied by that municipality not

 

including taxes attributable to increased captured value.

 

     Sec. 16a. (1) Not later than June 15, 2014 and June 15, 2015,

 

each municipality that is a tax increment finance authority shall

 

calculate and report to the department the municipality's tax

 

increment small taxpayer loss for the current calendar year.

 

     (2) Not later than June 15, 2016, and each June 15 thereafter,

 

each municipality that is a tax increment finance authority shall

 

do all of the following for each of its tax increment financing

 

plans:

 

     (a) Calculate separately for each category of property the

 

total captured value of all industrial personal property and

 

commercial personal property in the municipality that is a tax

 

increment finance authority in 2013 and add any increased captured

 

value for the current year.

 

     (b) From the each amount calculated in subdivision (a),

 

subtract the total captured value of all industrial personal

 

property and commercial personal property in the municipality that

 

is a tax increment finance authority in the current year . If the

 

resulting amount, when added to the taxable value of all property

 

within the tax increment finance authority in the current year,

 

would result in a captured value for all property within the tax

 

increment finance authority that is less than the resulting amount,

 

then this captured value shall be used instead of the resulting

 

amount.

 

     (c) Multiply the result of the calculation in subdivision (b)


for that category of property and multiply the resulting amount by

 

the sum of the lowest rate of each individual millage levied in the

 

period between 2012 and the year immediately preceding the current

 

year, rate calculated under section 13(5), to the extent the

 

millage is subject to capture by that tax increment finance

 

authority for that category of property. 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 subdivision must

 

be eligible to be levied against both real property and personal

 

property.

 

     (c) Add all of the amounts calculated under subdivision (b).

 

If the estimated amount of tax increment revenue for the current

 

year for all property in the municipality that is a tax increment

 

finance authority is negative, the sum of the subdivision (b)

 

amounts calculated under this subdivision shall be reduced by that

 

negative amount.

 

     (d) Adjust For calendar year 2017 calculations only, adjust

 

the amount calculated under subdivision (c) by the amount required

 

to reflect the final order of a court or body of competent

 

jurisdiction related to changes in prior year taxable values that

 

affect any prior year calculation under this section and that can

 

be calculated from taxable values reported under section 151(1) of

 

the state school aid act of 1979, 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1751.

 

     (e) For an obligation refinanced after 2012, estimate for the

 

term of the obligation:

 

     (i) The cumulative school district operating tax and state

 

education tax that would have been captured to repay the obligation


had the obligation not been refinanced.

 

     (ii) The cumulative amount calculated under subdivision (c),

 

as adjusted by subdivision (d), for school district operating tax

 

and state education tax for the obligation had it not been

 

refinanced.

 

     (f) Once the amount included in subdivision (c), as adjusted

 

by subdivision (d), for the current and prior years for school

 

operating tax and state education tax for the refinanced obligation

 

equals the amount estimated in subdivision (e)(ii), subtract from

 

the amount calculated under subdivision (c), as adjusted by

 

subdivision (d), the amount calculated under subdivision (c), as

 

adjusted by subdivision (d), for school district operating tax and

 

state education tax for the refinanced obligation.

 

     (g) Once the amount of school district operating tax and state

 

education tax captured for the current and prior years to pay the

 

refinanced obligation equals the amount estimated under subdivision

 

(e)(i), subtract from the amount calculated in subdivision (c), as

 

adjusted by subdivision (d), the amount of school operating tax and

 

state education tax captured to repay the refinanced obligation.

 

     (3) Not later than June 15, 2016, and each June 15 thereafter,

 

each municipality that is a tax increment finance authority shall

 

report to the department the results of the calculations under

 

subsection (2) for each tax increment financing plan.

 

     Sec. 17. (1) The legislature shall appropriate funds for all

 

of the following purposes:

 

     (a) For fiscal year 2014-2015 and fiscal year 2015-2016, to

 

the authority, an amount equal to all debt loss for municipalities


that are not a local school district, intermediate school district,

 

or tax increment finance authority, an amount equal to all school

 

debt loss for municipalities that are a local school district or

 

intermediate school district, and an amount equal to all tax

 

increment small taxpayer loss for municipalities that are a tax

 

increment finance authority. Funds appropriated under this

 

subdivision for fiscal year 2015-2016 may be used to pay a

 

corrected tax increment small taxpayer exemption loss for 2014 if a

 

tax increment finance authority submits before June 1, 2016 a

 

correction to a report that was filed under section 16a before

 

October 1, 2014.

 

     (b) For fiscal year 2014-2015 through fiscal year 2018-2019 an

 

amount equal to the necessary expenses incurred by the department

 

in implementing this act.

 

     (c) Beginning in fiscal year 2019-2020 and each fiscal year

 

thereafter, an amount equal to the necessary expenses incurred by

 

the authority and the department in implementing this act.

 

     (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:

 

     (a) Allocate payments received, up to 100% reimbursement,

 

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

 

proportionate share of the payment as it is attributable to the

 

area subject to the agreement.

 

     (8) (5) The authority shall make the payments required by


subsection (3) not later than May June 20, 2016, payments required

 

by subsection (6) not later than October 20, 2018, and payments

 

required by subsection (4) not later than on the following dates:

 

     (a) For Except as provided in subdivision (d), for county

 

allocated millage, November 20, 2017, and thereafter September

 

October 20 of the year the millage is levied.

 

     (b) For Except as provided in subdivision (d), for county

 

extra-voted millage, township millage, and other millages levied

 

100% in December of a year, February 20 of the following year.

 

     (c) For Except as provided in subdivision (d), for other

 

millages, November 20, 2017, and thereafter October 20 of the year

 

the millage is levied.

 

     (d) Payment under subsection (4)(d) and (e) shall be made on

 

May 20 of the year following the calendar year for which the

 

payments are calculated.

 

     (9) (6) If the authority has insufficient funds to make the

 

payments on the dates required in subsection (5), (8), the

 

department shall advance to the authority the amount necessary for

 

the authority to make the required payments. The authority shall

 

repay the advance to the department from the local community

 

stabilization share.

 

     (10) (7) For each fiscal year from fiscal year 2015-2016

 

through fiscal year 2018-2019, the authority may use up to

 

$300,000.00 of the local community stabilization share revenue for

 

purposes consistent with implementing and administering this act.
