The People of the State of Michigan enact:

Sec. 14. (1) Not later than November 7, 2017, and each September 7 thereafter, for each municipality that is not a local school district, intermediate school district, or tax increment finance authority, the department shall do all of the following:

(a) Calculate the municipality’s personal property exemption loss.

(b) Multiply the municipality’s personal property exemption loss by the millage rates calculated under section 13(5).

(c) 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 any prior year calculation under this subsection. An adjustment under this subdivision shall only be made for municipalities for which changes in prior year taxable values 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) Adjust the amount calculated under subdivision (b), as adjusted by subdivision (c), by the amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value.

(2) Not later than November 7, 2017, and each September 7 thereafter, for each municipality that is a county, township, village, city, or authority that provides essential services, the department shall do all of the following:

(a) Add to the amount calculated under subsection (1)(a) any increased value from expired tax exemptions for the current year.

(b) Subtract from the amount calculated under subdivision (a) the amount calculated under section 16a(2)(b) for the municipality, not including any amount attributable to increased captured value.

(c) Multiply the result of the calculation in subdivision (b) by the millage rate calculated under section 13(5) for general operating millage.

(d) Multiply the result of the calculation in subdivision (c) by the percentage of the municipality’s general operating millage used to fund the cost of essential services in the municipality’s fiscal year ending in 2012. The department shall calculate each municipality’s percentage of general operating millage used to fund the cost of essential services in the municipality’s fiscal year ending in 2012, unless the municipality includes the calculation in its comprehensive annual financial report for the municipality’s fiscal year ending in either 2014 or 2015 or otherwise reports the calculation to the department in a form and in a manner prescribed by the department.

(e) Add to the result of the calculation in subdivision (d) an amount calculated by multiplying the amount calculated under subdivision (b) by the millage rates calculated under section 13(5) that are dedicated solely for the cost of essential services levied on industrial personal property and commercial personal property. A millage levied to fund a pension under the fire fighters and police officers retirement act, 1937 PA 345, MCL 38.551 to 38.562, is dedicated solely for the cost of essential services.

(d) Add the amounts calculated under subdivisions (b) and (c).

(e) Calculate the sum of the municipality’s debt loss for 2014 and 2015 reimbursed under section 17(1)(a) for millages used to calculate the amounts under subdivisions (b) and (c).

(f) Calculate the amount of any tax increment small taxpayer loss for captured taxes levied by the municipality in 2014 and 2015 for millages used to calculate the amounts under subdivisions (b) and (c).

(4) Not later than November 7, 2017, and each September 7 thereafter, for each municipality that is not a local school district, intermediate school district, or tax increment finance authority, the department shall do all of the following:

(b) Multiply the municipality’s 2015 small taxpayer exemption loss by the millage rates calculated under section 13(5).

(c) 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 any prior year calculation under this subsection.

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 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.

(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 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).

(vi) 100% of that municipality’s amount calculated under section 14(4).

(b) Beginning for calendar year 2019, 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 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 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 amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value.

(v) Subtract from the amount calculated under subparagraph (ii) the amount calculated under subparagraph (iv).

(vi) Divide the result of the calculation in subparagraph (v) by the sum of the calculation under subparagraph (v) 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, 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 the distributions in subdivisions (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.

(5) The authority shall make the payments required by subsection (3) not later than May 20, 2016, and payments required by subsection (4) not later than on the following dates:

(a) For county allocated millage, November 20, 2017, and thereafter September 20 of the year the millage is levied.
