Sales Tax Revenue Distribution for Revenue Sharing Fund

This bill would require that 8.9% of Michigan’s 4% state sales tax be sent to a dedicated revenue-sharing fund instead of the general fund starting October 1, 2026. These funds would be distributed directly to local governments—including cities, villages, townships, and counties—to support important community services such as police, fire departments, road maintenance, and parks. The bill is designed to provide local governments with a more stable and predictable source of funding each year, so they can better plan and maintain essential services for residents.
