Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill amends the Income Tax Act of 1967 to allow individuals to donate a portion of their tax refund to a new "homeless advocacy fund" starting in the 2026 tax year. It also removes the Michigan Junior Achievement Fund from the list of organizations taxpayers can donate to via their tax return. The bill maintains the rule that the state's income tax form can only include up to 10 donation options, and an option is removed if it fails to raise $50,000 for two years in a row.
