For transformational brownfield plans approved after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a, withholding tax capture revenues do not include income tax withholdings attributable to withholding-disqualified employees or employees of a withholding-disqualified entity. To calculate withholding tax capture revenues for a calendar year under a transformational brownfield plan, the state treasurer or the Michigan strategic fund shall do all of the following: ( i ) The state treasurer shall require the owner or developer of the eligible property to provide the department of treasury with notice not more than 10 days from the date an employer commences or terminates occupancy within the eligible property. As used in this subdivision, �employer� means that term as defined in section 8 of the income tax act of 1967, 1967 PA 281, MCL 206.8.

(B) For transformational brownfield plans approved after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a, the information necessary to determine whether individuals employed within the eligible property are withholding-disqualified employees or employees of a withholding-disqualified entity. The methods and processes developed for an employer to report the information under this sub-subparagraph may require an employer to annually certify that employees within the eligible property are not withholding-disqualified employees and that the employer is not a withholding-disqualified entity. ( iii ) The Michigan strategic fund shall include the following provisions in the development or reimbursement agreement for any transformational brownfield plan that utilizes withholding tax capture revenues: (A) That the owner or developer of the eligible property shall require each employer occupying the eligible property to comply with the reporting requirements under this section through a contract requirement, lease requirement, or other similar means. (B) That reimbursement of withholding tax capture revenues is limited to amounts that are reported in accordance with chapter 17 of the income tax act of 1967, 1967 PA 281, MCL 206.701 to 206.718, and this state has no obligation with respect to withholding tax capture revenues that are not reported or paid. ( iv ) Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subdivision, instead of the reporting and calculation methods otherwise provided for, the owner or developer of a transformational project site may elect to utilize a safe harbor method of calculating withholding tax capture revenues. Use of the safe harbor method does not eliminate a reporting requirement described in subparagraph ( ii )(B) or section 14a(7)(b). Under the safe harbor method, the Michigan strategic fund shall establish a safe harbor amount of annual withholding tax capture revenues for each eligible property when the Michigan strategic fund approves the transformational brownfield plan, and, except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph, those amounts shall serve as the basis for the transmittal of withholding tax capture revenues to the owner or developer of the transformational project site under section 8a(4). The Michigan strategic fund shall establish the safe harbor amount for an eligible property by imputing a standard level of employee occupancy that corresponds to the size and use of the eligible property or portion of the eligible property and a safe harbor average annual taxable wage for the individuals employed within the eligible property or portion of the eligible property. The safe harbor is effective only to the extent the eligible property or portion of the eligible property is actively occupied, as evidenced by the existence of a binding lease agreement or similar instrument. Imputations as to occupancy and wages may vary between projects based on location, the type and use of the eligible property, and other relevant factors. The Michigan strategic fund may adjust the safe harbor amount for an eligible property, or portion of the eligible property, after the time of plan approval as required to reflect changes in the transformational brownfield plan for the transformational project site that may occur after approval of the transformational brownfield plan, if those changes do not result in an aggregate increase in the level of withholding tax capture revenues from the amount initially established. The Michigan strategic fund may adjust the safe harbor amount for an eligible property, or portion of the eligible property, after the time of plan approval as required to account for withholding-disqualified employees, if the number of withholding-disqualified employees exceeds the amount estimated in the initial safe harbor calculation. Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph, the owner or developer of the transformational project site may elect to utilize the safe harbor method of accounting at any time before the first reimbursement of withholding tax capture revenues under the plan. For any new project approved by the Michigan strategic fund board after December 31, 2026, the owner or developer of the transformational project site must elect to utilize the safe harbor method of accounting before approval of the project by the Michigan strategic fund board. An election to utilize the safe harbor method of accounting, once made, cannot be rescinded for projects approved on or before December 31, 2026, without approval by the Michigan strategic fund. As used in this subdivision, �Michigan strategic fund board� means the board of directors of the Michigan strategic fund under section 5 of the Michigan strategic fund act, 1984 PA 270, MCL 125.2005.

(ppp) �Zone� means, for an authority established before June 6, 2000, a brownfield redevelopment zone designated under this act.

Sec. 13c. (1) Subject to the approval of the governing body and Michigan strategic fund under section 14a, the board may implement a transformational brownfield plan. The transformational brownfield plan may consist of a single development on eligible property or a series of developments on eligible property that are part of a related program of investment, whether or not located on contiguous parcels, and may be amended to apply to additional parcels of eligible property if each additional parcel of property is a site or property as those terms are defined in part 213, a facility, a historic resource, functionally obsolete, or blighted. Each amendment to a transformational brownfield plan must be approved by the governing body of the municipality in which it is located and the Michigan strategic fund and must be consistent with the approval requirements in this section.

(2) A transformational brownfield plan may authorize the use of construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, tax increment revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues for eligible activities described in section 2(o)( v ). Except as otherwise provided in section 13b(6)(d), tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues must be used only for the costs of eligible activities included within the transformational brownfield plan to which the revenues are attributable, including the cost of principal of and interest on any obligation to pay the cost of the eligible activities. (3) A transformational brownfield plan is a brownfield plan and, except as otherwise provided, is subject to sections 13, 13a, 13b, 14, and 15. In addition to the information required under section 13(2), a transformational brownfield plan must contain all of the following: (a) The basis for designating the plan as a transformational brownfield plan under section 2(hhh). (b) A description of the costs of the transformational brownfield plan intended to be paid for with construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues.

(d) The beginning date and duration of capture of construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues for each eligible property as determined under subsections (8) and (11). (4) Subject to section 14a(7), the transformational brownfield plan may provide for the use of part or all of the tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues. The portion of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues to be used may vary over the duration of the transformational brownfield plan, but the portion intended to be used must be clearly stated in the transformational brownfield plan. (5) Approval of a transformational brownfield plan, or an amendment to a transformational brownfield plan, must be in accordance with the notice, approval, and public hearing requirements of sections 14 and 14a, except that the governing body shall provide notice to the Michigan strategic fund not less than 30 days before the hearing on a transformational brownfield plan. (6) If a transformational brownfield plan authorizes the use of construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, or sales and use tax capture revenues, approval of a combined brownfield plan or work plan by the Michigan strategic fund and a written development or reimbursement agreement between the owner or developer of the eligible property, the authority, and the Michigan strategic fund are required. For transformational brownfield plans approved after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a, the written development or reimbursement agreement must include annual project milestones that must be met to capture taxes or continue to capture taxes. If a plan authorizes the use of tax increment revenues for eligible activities under section 2(o)( v ) other than eligible activities described in section 13b, approval of a work plan or combined brownfield plan by the Michigan strategic fund to use tax increment revenues for those additional eligible activities is required. A work plan or combined brownfield plan under this subsection must be consolidated with a work plan or combined brownfield plan under section 13b(4). The eligible activities to be conducted must be consistent with the work plan submitted by the authority to the Michigan strategic fund. As used in this subsection, �milestone� means a goal that must be achieved along a project timeline and that reflects the progress of a project. Milestone may include, but is not limited to, goals regarding construction progress, capital investment, or residential housing completion. (7) On approval of the transformational brownfield plan by the governing body and Michigan strategic fund, and the execution of the written development or reimbursement agreement, the transfer and distribution of construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues as specified in this act and in the plan are binding on this state and the collection and transmission of the amount of tax increment revenues as specified in this act and in the plan are binding on all taxing units levying ad valorem property taxes or specific taxes against property subject to the transformational brownfield plan. (8) A transformational brownfield plan must not authorize the capture or use of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, or sales and use tax capture revenues after the year in which the total amount of the revenue captured under the transformational brownfield plan is equal to the sum of the costs permitted to be funded with the revenue under the transformational brownfield plan.

(9) The brownfield authority and Michigan strategic fund may reimburse advances, with or without interest, made by a municipality under section 7(3), a land bank fast track authority, or any other person or entity for costs of eligible activities included within a transformational brownfield plan using tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, or sales and use tax capture revenues attributable to that plan. On approval of the Michigan strategic fund, the amount of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues authorized to be captured under a transformational brownfield plan may include amounts required for the payment of interest under this subsection. A written development or reimbursement agreement must be entered into under subsection (6) before any reimbursement or payment using tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, or sales and use tax capture revenues may commence. A reimbursement agreement for these purposes and the obligations under that reimbursement agreement are not subject to section 12 or the revised municipal finance act, 2001 PA 34, MCL 141.2101 to 141.2821. (10) Eligible activities conducted on eligible property before approval of the transformational brownfield plan may be reimbursed from tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues if those costs and the eligible property are subsequently included in a transformational brownfield plan approved by the governing body and Michigan strategic fund, a combined brownfield plan or work plan approved by the Michigan strategic fund, and a written development or reimbursement agreement under subsection (6). Reimbursement under this subsection is limited to eligible expenses incurred within 90 days of the approval of the transformational brownfield plan by the Michigan strategic fund. (11) The duration of the capture of withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues under a transformational brownfield plan for a particular eligible property must not exceed the lesser of the period authorized under subsection (8) or 20 years from the beginning date of the capture of withholding tax capture revenues income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues for that eligible property. The beginning date for the capture of tax increment revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues for an eligible property must not be later than 5 years following the date the Michigan strategic fund approves the inclusion of the eligible property in a transformational brownfield plan. Subject to the approval of the governing body and Michigan strategic fund, the authority may amend the beginning date of capture of tax increment revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues to a date not later than 5 years following the date the Michigan strategic fund approved inclusion of the eligible property in the transformational brownfield plan if capture of the revenues under the transformational brownfield plan has not yet commenced. Solely with respect to a related program of investment as defined in subsection (12), subject to the approval of the governing body and Michigan strategic fund, the authority may amend the beginning date of capture of tax increment revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues for an eligible property included within a related program of investment to a date later than 5 years following the date the Michigan strategic fund approved inclusion of the eligible property in the transformational brownfield plan if the governing body and Michigan strategic fund determine that the developer of the related program of investment has proceeded in good faith and made reasonable and substantial progress in the implementation of the related program of investment. Construction period tax capture revenues may not be captured under a transformational brownfield plan for a particular eligible property after the date that is 5 years after the date the Michigan strategic fund initially approves the transformational brownfield plan. (12) For purposes of subsection (1), a series of developments on parcels that are not contiguous is considered a related program of investment if all of the following are met: (a) The developments are proposed to be undertaken concurrently or in reasonable succession. (b) For developments under affiliated ownership, the developments are reasonably contiguous and are part of a program of investment in a logically defined geography, including, but not limited to, a downtown district as defined in section 201 of the recodified tax increment financing act, 2018 PA 57, MCL 125.4201, or a principal shopping district or business improvement district as defined in section 1 of 1961 PA 120, MCL 125.981, and including areas that are logically related to those districts and that will promote infill development. (c) For developments under unrelated ownership, in addition to the criteria described in subdivisions (a) and (b), the developments are part of a master development plan, area plan, sub-area plan, or similar development plan that has been approved or adopted by resolution of the governing body. (d) The designation of the developments as a related program of investment is consistent with the purposes of this act and is not a combination of unrelated or minimally related projects calculated to meet the minimum investment threshold.

(13) If undeveloped property included in a transformational brownfield plan has been designated as a renaissance zone under the Michigan renaissance zone act, 1996 PA 376, MCL 125.2681 to 125.2696, on the request of the owner or developer of the eligible property and the local governmental unit that designated the zone, the Michigan strategic fund, and a city levying a tax under the city income tax act, 1964 PA 284, MCL 141.501 to 141.787, may elect under section 9(4) of the Michigan renaissance zone act, 1996 PA 376, MCL 125.2689, to terminate the exemptions, deductions, or credits provided for in section 9(1)(b) and (c) of that act, and reimburse the authority, or owner or developer of the eligible property, an annual amount equal to the revenue collected for each tax year as a result of the termination of the exemptions, deductions, or credits that would otherwise be in effect. In implementing this subsection, all of the following apply: (a) The authority and Michigan strategic fund shall include amounts anticipated to be collected under this subsection in the income tax capture revenues authorized to be used under the transformational brownfield plan and associated work plan or combined brownfield plan. (b) The state treasurer shall calculate for each tax year the amount of revenue this state collected as a result of the operation of this subsection and shall deposit that amount as income tax capture revenues into the state brownfield redevelopment fund, where the funds must be transmitted in the manner provided for in sections 8a(4) and 16(8). (c) A city levying a city income tax under the city income tax act, 1964 PA 284, MCL 141.501 to 141.787, shall calculate for each tax year the amount of revenue the city collected as a result of the operation of this subsection and shall enter into a binding reimbursement agreement with the authority, and owner or developer of the eligible property, providing for the payment of the amounts to the authority, or the owner or developer of the eligible property, for eligible activities as provided in the transformational brownfield plan. City income taxes administered by the department of treasury pursuant to the city income tax act, 1964 PA 284, MCL 141.501 to 141.787, are subject to the procedures of subdivision (b) regarding the calculation and deposit of any revenue collected as a result of the operation of this subsection. (d) The department of treasury may require the owner or developer to submit any information necessary for the calculation of revenue collected pursuant to the operation of this subsection. This state has no obligation for calculating revenues to be collected pursuant to the operation of this subsection if the required information is not reported. (14) The authority and governing body are solely responsible for deciding whether to seek approval of a brownfield plan as a transformational brownfield plan. Nothing in this section or section 14a operates to prejudice or limit consideration of a brownfield plan under sections 13 and 14, including a decision by the Michigan strategic fund not to approve a plan as a transformational brownfield plan. (15) This act does not preclude an authority established by a county from seeking approval of a brownfield plan as a transformational brownfield plan. In the event that an authority established by a county seeks approval of a plan that extends into more than 1 of its component local units of government and that plan includes eligible property in more than 1 municipality that is not a county, the minimum investment requirements of section 2(hhh ) must be established with reference to combined population of the municipalities that are not a county in which the eligible property is located.

Sec. 14a. (1) The governing body and Michigan strategic fund shall determine whether to approve a transformational brownfield plan in accordance with this section. (2) The governing body shall make an initial determination as to whether the transformational brownfield plan constitutes a public purpose in accordance with section 14(5). If the governing body determines the transformational brownfield plan does not constitute a public purpose, it shall reject the transformational brownfield plan. (3) If the governing body determines that the transformational brownfield plan constitutes a public purpose, the governing body may then approve or reject the transformational brownfield plan, or approve it with modification, by resolution based on all of the following considerations: (a) Whether the transformational brownfield plan meets the requirements of section 2(hhh), which must include a determination that the transformational brownfield plan is calculated to, and has the reasonable likelihood to, have a transformational impact on local economic development and community revitalization based on the extent of brownfield redevelopment and growth in population, commercial activity, and employment that will result from the transformational brownfield plan. (b) Whether the transformational brownfield plan meets the requirements of sections 13, 13b, and 13c. (c) Whether the costs of eligible activities proposed are reasonable and necessary to carry out the purposes of this act. (d) Whether the amount of captured taxable value, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues estimated to result from adoption of the transformational brownfield plan are reasonable.

(e) Whether the transformational brownfield plan takes into account the criteria described in section 90b(4) of the Michigan strategic fund act, 1984 PA 270, MCL 125.2090b. (f) Whether subject to subsection (22)(d), the transformational brownfield plan includes provisions for affordable housing. (4) Within 90 days of the completion of an administratively complete application and the analysis required under subsection (5), the Michigan strategic fund shall approve or reject the transformational brownfield plan, or approve it with modification, by resolution based on the criteria in subsection (3). (5) In determining whether to approve a transformational brownfield plan under subsection (3)(c) and (d), the Michigan strategic fund shall conduct a financial and underwriting analysis of the developments included in the plan. The analysis must consider both projected rental rates at the time of project delivery and potential increases in rental rates over time. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Michigan strategic fund shall not approve the use of construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues beyond the amount determined to be necessary for the project to be economically viable. The Michigan strategic fund shall develop standardized underwriting criteria for determining economic viability. The Michigan strategic fund shall take into account the impact of the sales and use tax exemptions under section 4d(n) of the general sales tax act, 1933 PA 167, MCL 205.54d, and section 4dd of the use tax act, 1937 PA 94, MCL 205.94dd, in determining the amount of construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues required for the project to be economically viable. The Michigan strategic fund shall ensure that each transformational brownfield plan includes a significant equity contribution from the owner or developer as determined by the Michigan strategic fund. (6) The Michigan strategic fund shall require an independent, third-party underwriting analysis under subsection (3)(d) and an independent, third-party analysis of the plan�s anticipated fiscal benefits to this state for any plan that either proposes to use more than $10,000,000.00 in any year in withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues, as determined by the first full year of tax capture under the plan, or is using the safe harbor method of calculation under section 2(dd)( iii ) or (nnn)( iv ) and the actual capital investment, as determined in accordance with section 2(o)( v ) and (hhh), has a total development cost of $100,000,000.00 or more. The cost of the independent, third-party analyses must be paid by the owner or developer of the eligible property. In addition to the independent, third-party underwriting analysis and the independent, third-party analysis of the plan�s anticipated fiscal benefits to this state, the Michigan strategic fund shall require an independent, third-party analysis of the sales and use tax capture revenue estimates for any plan that includes sales and use tax capture revenues. The cost of the independent, third-party analysis must be paid by the owner or developer of the eligible property. This subsection does not limit the ability of the Michigan strategic fund to utilize independent, third-party analyses on plans not subject to this subsection. (7) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Michigan strategic fund may not approve a transformational brownfield plan that proposes to use more than 50% of the withholding tax capture revenues or 50% of the income tax capture revenues. The Michigan strategic fund may modify the amount of withholding tax capture revenues and income tax capture revenues before approving a transformational brownfield plan to bring the transformational brownfield plan into compliance with subsection (5). The Michigan strategic fund may approve a transformational brownfield plan that proposes to use more than 50% of the income tax capture revenues if 1 of the following applies: (a) The income tax capture revenues are attributable to the election under section 13c(13). (b) The applicable eligible properties within the transformational brownfield plan are subject to a written, binding housing agreement with the local governmental unit that provides that not less than 20% of the residential housing units on the eligible property must be used for affordable housing, which agreement must be provided to the Michigan strategic fund, in which case the Michigan strategic fund may approve a transformational brownfield plan that proposes to use up to 100% of the income tax capture revenues, subject to the underwriting and financial analysis required under subsection (5). As used in this subdivision, �affordable housing� means residential housing units that are rented or sold to income qualified households. (8) The Michigan strategic fund shall require the owner or developer of the eligible property to certify the actual capital investment, as determined in accordance with section 2(o)( v ) and (hhh), on the completion of construction and before the commencement of reimbursement from withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, sales and use tax capture revenues, or tax increment revenues, for the plan or the distinct phase or project within the plan for which reimbursement will be provided. If the actual capital investment is less than the amount included in the plan, the Michigan strategic fund shall review the determination under subsection (5) and may modify the amount of reimbursement if, and to the extent, such a modification is necessary to maintain compliance with subsection (5). The transformational brownfield plan, work plan, and development and reimbursement agreement must include provisions to enforce the requirements and remedies under this subsection. If the actual level of capital investment does not meet the applicable minimum investment requirement under section 2(hhh) and is outside of the safe harbor under subsection (15), the Michigan strategic fund shall take 1 or more of the following remedial actions: (a) Reduce the amount of reimbursement under the plan. (b) If the failure to meet the minimum investment threshold is the result of failure to undertake additional distinct phases or projects as provided for in the plan, 1 or more of the following: ( i ) Permanently rescind the authorization to use tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues for the additional distinct phases or projects in the plan. ( ii ) Reduce the amount of reimbursement for completed phases of the plan. (c) If the Michigan strategic fund determines that the applicable owner or developer acted in bad faith with respect to the level of capital investment, cease all reimbursement under the plan. (9) On approval by the Michigan strategic fund, the minimum investment requirements in section 2(hhh) and limitation under subsection (22)(a) and (b) may be waived if the transformational brownfield plan meets 1 of the following criteria: (a) Is for eligible property in an area approved by the Michigan state housing development authority as eligible for blight elimination program funding under the housing finance agency innovation fund for the hardest hit housing markets authorized pursuant to the emergency economic stabilization act of 2008, division A of Public Law 110-343, 12 USC 5201 to 5261. For purposes of this subdivision, an area approved as eligible for blight elimination program funding means that specific portion or portions of a municipality where the Michigan state housing development authority approved the expenditure of blight elimination program funds pursuant to an application identifying the target areas. (b) Is for eligible property in a municipality that was subject to a state of emergency under the emergency management act, 1976 PA 390, MCL 30.401 to 30.421, issued for drinking water contamination. (c) Is for eligible property that is a historic resource if the Michigan strategic fund determines the redevelopment is not economically feasible absent the transformational brownfield plan. (d) Is for eligible property that is located in a city, village, or township with a population of less than 25,000 or that is otherwise eligible for the corresponding population tier in section 2(hhh)( vi ), as determined in accordance with subsection (15), if the Michigan strategic fund determines that the redevelopment is not economically feasible absent the transformational brownfield plan. (10) In determining whether a plan under subsection (9) has a transformational impact for purposes of section 2(hhh) and subsection (3)(a), the governing body and Michigan strategic fund shall consider the impact of the transformational brownfield plan in relation to existing investment and development conditions in the project area and whether the transformational brownfield plan will act as a catalyst for additional revitalization of the area in which it is located. (11) The Michigan strategic fund may not approve more than 5 transformational brownfield plans under subsection (9) in a calendar year, except that if the Michigan strategic fund approves fewer than 5 plans in a calendar year under subsection (9), the unused approval authority carries forward into future calendar years and remains available until December 31, 2032. The Michigan strategic fund also shall not approve more than 5 transformational brownfield plans under subsection (9) in any individual city, village, or township before December 31, 2022. (12) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, amendments to an approved transformational brownfield plan must be submitted by the authority to the governing body and to the Michigan strategic fund for approval or rejection following the same notice necessary for approval or rejection of the original transformational brownfield plan. Notice is not required for revisions in the estimates of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, or sales and use tax capture revenues. (13) Except as provided in this subsection, an amendment to an approved transformational brownfield plan under section 13c(1) is not considered a new plan approval subject to the limitation in subsection (22)(a). The Michigan strategic fund may consider an amendment as a new plan approval only if the amendment adds eligible property and the Michigan strategic fund determines that approving the addition as an amendment would be inconsistent with the purposes of this act. (14) The procedure, adequacy of notice, and findings under this section are presumptively valid unless contested in a court of competent jurisdiction within 60 days after approval of the transformational brownfield plan by the Michigan strategic fund. An approved amendment to a conclusive transformational brownfield plan is likewise conclusive unless contested within 60 days after approval of the amendment by the Michigan strategic fund. If a resolution adopting an amendment to the transformational brownfield plan is contested, the original resolution adopting the transformational brownfield plan is not open to contest.

(15) The determination as to whether a transformational brownfield plan complies with the minimum investment requirements in section 2(hhh) must be made with reference to the most recent decennial census data available at the time of approval by the authority. A plan in a municipality that exceeds a population tier under section 2(hhh) by not more than 10% of the maximum population for that tier is, on election of the authority, subject to the investment requirement for that tier. A transformational brownfield plan that is expected to result in, or does result in, a total capital investment that is within 10% of the applicable minimum investment requirement is considered to satisfy the applicable requirement under section 2(hhh). (16) For purposes of a transformational brownfield plan, determination as to whether property is functionally obsolete may include considerations of economic obsolescence as determined in accordance with the Michigan state tax commission�s assessor�s manual. (17) Any positive or negative determination by the Michigan strategic fund under this section must be supported by objective analysis and documented in the record of its proceedings. (18) The Michigan strategic fund shall charge and collect a reasonable application fee as necessary to cover the costs associated with the review and approval of a transformational brownfield plan. (19) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Michigan strategic fund shall not commit, and the department of treasury shall not disburse, more than $80,000,000.00 in total annual tax capture. As used in this subsection, �total annual tax capture� means the total annual amount of income tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues that may be reimbursed each calendar year under all transformational brownfield plans. In addition to the $80,000,000.00 annual limit, all of the following provisions apply: (a) The Michigan strategic fund may commit, and the department of treasury may disburse, an additional $80,000,000.00 in total annual tax capture if the additional amount is used for new transformational brownfield plans and not existing transformational brownfield plans. As used in this subdivision and subdivision (b): ( i ) �Existing transformational brownfield plan� means a transformational brownfield plan that is approved before the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a, regardless of whether that transformational brownfield plan is amended after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a and regardless of whether an amendment to that transformational brownfield plan is considered a new plan approval by the Michigan strategic fund under section 14a(13). ( ii ) �New transformational brownfield plan� means a transformational brownfield plan that is approved on or after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a. (b) With respect to the availability of uncommitted amounts, if an amount authorized to be committed for a calendar year has not been committed, the uncommitted amount for that calendar year remains available to be committed and disbursed in a subsequent calendar year and is in addition to the annual limits otherwise applicable. An amount that, as a result of a remedial action under subsection (8), is not disbursed or is repaid is considered an uncommitted amount for purposes of this subdivision. However, not more than $30,000,000.00 may be committed or disbursed in any calendar year above the $160,000,000.00 total annual limit as a result of the operation of this subdivision, and all commitments and disbursements under this subdivision remain subject to the overall limitation in subsection (20). An uncommitted amount described in this subdivision may be used for existing transformational brownfield plans or new transformational brownfield plans, as determined by the Michigan strategic fund, regardless of whether the uncommitted amount is attributable to the additional amount described in subdivision (a). (c) With respect to the availability of committed but undisbursed amounts, if an amount has been committed under an approved transformational brownfield plan for a calendar year but has not been disbursed, the undisbursed amount for that year is available to be disbursed in a subsequent calendar year and is in addition to the annual limit otherwise applicable. (20) The Michigan strategic fund shall not commit, and the department of treasury shall not disburse, a total amount of income tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues that exceeds $3,200,000,000.00. (21) The Michigan strategic fund shall not approve more than a total of $200,000,000.00 in construction period tax capture revenues and projected sales and use tax exemptions under section 4d(n) of the general sales tax act, 1933 PA 167, MCL 205.54d, and section 4dd of the use tax act, 1937 PA 94, MCL 205.94dd. However, sales and use tax exemptions approved before the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a do not have to be included in determining whether the $200,000,000.00 limit is met. The Michigan strategic fund shall project the value of the sales and use tax exemptions under each transformational brownfield plan at the time of plan approval and shall require such information from the owner or developer as is necessary to perform this calculation. The Michigan strategic fund also shall require the owner or developer of the eligible property to report the actual value of the sales and use tax exemptions each tax year of the construction period and at the end of the construction period. If the value of the actual sales and use tax exemptions and construction period tax capture revenues under all transformational brownfield plans exceeds the limit of $200,000,000.00 under this subsection by more than a de minimis amount, as determined by the state treasurer, the state treasurer shall take corrective action and may reduce future disbursements to achieve compliance with this subsection. The corrective action described in this subsection shall not reduce the disbursement for an individual plan by an amount that is more than the amount by which the value of the sales and use tax exemptions for that plan exceeded the amount projected at the time of plan approval and included in the plan. The state treasurer shall not reduce the disbursement for an individual plan whose sales and use tax exemptions do not have to be included in determining whether the $200,000,000.00 limit is met. The Michigan strategic fund and the department of treasury shall prescribe specific methods for implementing this subsection and subsection (25) not later than 120 days after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a. (22) The Michigan strategic fund shall comply with all of the following: (a) Not approve more than 5 transformational brownfield plans in a calendar year, except that if the Michigan strategic fund approves fewer than 5 plans in a calendar year, the unused approval authority carries forward into future calendar years and remains available. (b) Not approve more than 5 transformational brownfield plans in any individual city, village, or township before December 31, 2022. (c) Subject to the receipt of qualified transformational brownfield plans meeting the criteria under this section and section 13c, ensure that transformational brownfield plans approved under this act are distributed equally, to the extent practicable, between all of the following: ( i ) Cities, villages, and townships with a population of less than 100,000. ( ii ) Cities, villages, and townships with a population of not less than 100,000 and not more than 225,000. ( iii ) Cities, villages, and townships with a population of more than 225,000. (d) In coordination with the governing body, shall determine the appropriate provisions regarding affordable housing on a plan-by-plan basis. A transformational brownfield plan for a project that includes the development of residential housing on the eligible property must not be approved after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a unless it includes an affordable housing component. As used in this subdivision, �affordable housing� means residential housing units that are rented or sold to income qualified households. (23) In the event of a proposed change in ownership of eligible property subject to a transformational brownfield plan for which reimbursement will continue, the approval of the Michigan strategic fund is required before the assignment or transfer of the development and reimbursement agreement. (24) If the Michigan strategic fund approves a transformational brownfield plan and work plan, and subsequent to that approval, amendments are made to this act, the Michigan strategic fund may amend those plans to make conforming and consistent changes to the approved transformational brownfield plan and work plan on an administrative basis, if those changes do not result in any increase in the aggregate total amount of reimbursement authorized under the initial transformational brownfield plan. The authority of the Michigan strategic fund to administratively amend transformational brownfield plans and work plans under this subsection also applies to transformational brownfield plans and work plans entered into before December 27, 2021. (25) For transformational brownfield plans approved on or after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a, the Michigan strategic fund shall not approve more than $300,000,000.00 in total construction period tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, sales and use tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, and projected sales and use tax exemptions under section 4d(n) of the general sales tax act, 1933 PA 167, MCL 205.54d, and section 4dd of the use tax act, 1937 PA 94, MCL 205.94dd, for a single transformational brownfield plan. If the value of the actual sales and use tax exemptions, construction period tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, sales and use tax capture revenues, and withholding tax capture revenues for a transformational brownfield plan approved on or after the effective date of the amendatory act that added section 16a exceeds the limit of $300,000,000.00 under this subsection by more than a de minimis amount, as determined by the state treasurer, the state treasurer shall take corrective action and may reduce future disbursements or require repayment of past disbursements, to achieve compliance with the aggregate limitation under this subsection. (26) On approval by the Michigan strategic fund, the mixed-use requirement in section 2(hhh) may be waived for a brownfield plan that otherwise meets the location, population, and minimum investment requirement under section 2(hhh)( vi ).

Sec. 16. (1) The municipal and county treasurers shall transmit tax increment revenues to the authority not later than 30 days after tax increment revenues are collected. (2) The authority shall expend the tax increment revenues received only in accordance with the brownfield plan. All surplus funds not deposited in the local brownfield revolving fund of the authority under section 8 must revert proportionately to the respective taxing bodies, except as provided in section 15(16).

(b) The amount and purpose of expenditures of tax increment revenues.

(c) The amount and source of tax increment revenues received for each active brownfield plan that is not a transformational brownfield plan, including the amount of tax increment revenues captured in the most recent tax year and the cumulative amount of tax increment revenues captured for each brownfield plan that is not a transformational brownfield plan, and the amount and source of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues received for each active brownfield plan that is a transformational brownfield plan, including the amount of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues captured in the most recent tax year and the cumulative amount of tax increment revenues, construction period tax capture revenues, withholding tax capture revenues, income tax capture revenues, and sales and use tax capture revenues captured for each brownfield plan that is a transformational brownfield plan.

The Michigan strategic fund shall compile the information on work plans approved by the Michigan strategic fund, the department, the department of treasury, and the Michigan state housing development authority into the dataset. The dataset must be available to the public on the website of the Michigan strategic fund or the Michigan economic development corporation. At a minimum, the dataset must be searchable by location, project name, and the name of the owner or developer of the project. The Michigan strategic fund does not have to include information regarding work plans that expire, or are abolished or terminated, before April 1, 2027, in the dataset. However, information regarding work plans that expire, or are abolished or terminated, on or after April 1, 2027 must be retained in the dataset. The department, the department of treasury, and the Michigan state housing development authority shall cooperate with the Michigan strategic fund as necessary for the creation and maintenance of the dataset under this subsection and are responsible for confirming their own data for the dataset created under this subsection. (5) The Michigan strategic fund shall, on a quarterly basis, update the dataset described in subsection (4) with all of the following information: (a) The name, location, and amount of tax increment revenues, including taxes levied for school operating purposes, for each project approved by the department under this act during the immediately preceding quarter, which information must be provided by the department to the Michigan strategic fund.

As part of the performance postaudit, the auditor general shall assess the extent to which the implementation of the program by the department, the Michigan state housing development authority, and the Michigan strategic fund facilitate and affect the redevelopment or reuse of eligible property and identify any factors that inhibit the program�s effectiveness. The performance postaudit must also assess the extent to which the interpretation of statutory language, the development of guidance or administrative rules, and the implementation of the program by the department, the Michigan state housing development authority, and the Michigan strategic fund is consistent with the fundamental objective of facilitating and supporting timely and efficient brownfield redevelopment of eligible properties. If the performance postaudit indicates that transformational brownfield plans under the program are not resulting in the expected levels of capital investment, the Michigan strategic fund must review the transformational brownfield plans and determine whether an action described in section 14a(8) should be taken.

(7) The owner or developer for an active project included within a brownfield plan must annually submit to the authority a report on the status of the project. The report must be in a form developed by the authority and must contain information necessary for the authority to report under subsection (3)(f), (h), (i), (j), and (k). The authority may waive the requirement to submit a report under this subsection. As used in this subsection, �active project� means a project for which the authority is currently capturing taxes under this act.
