Bill Offers Tax Credit for Purchases by Teachers TOP LANSING, Mich. - Public school teachers who purchase classroom supplies using personal funds would be eligible for a $500 income tax credit under legislation introduced in the Michigan Legislature this month, one of several education-related measures proposed by lawmakers in recent weeks. State Rep. Larry DeShazor, R-Portage, introduced House Bill 6303 on July 1. If adopted, single and joint filers could claim credits of $500 and $1,000, respectively, according to Michigan Votes. The measure was referred to the House Tax Policy Committee. In other legislative news, Senate Bill 1411 would allow a temporary tax break in cases when two intermediate school districts with different local millage rates consolidate. Taxpayers who would be subject to a higher intermediate millage rate due to the consolidation would receive a temporary break on the six-mill education tax paid directly to the state, according to Michigan Votes. House Bill 6302 would prohibit public school districts from paying “step” increases to employees during the time period between the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement and the adoption of a new one, Michigan Votes reported. Michigan Votes is an online service of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, which also publishes Michigan Education Digest.
