House Joint Resolution V, introduced on June 2, 2026, proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963, specifically amending section 31 of article IX. The resolution aims to establish new requirements for local governments regarding the levying or increasing of taxes, specifically millages. Under the proposed amendment, starting January 1, 2027, local governments would be prohibited from imposing any new taxes or increasing existing tax rates without first obtaining approval from at least 30% of qualified voters in that jurisdiction, as well as a majority vote in favor of the tax increase.

Additionally, the resolution outlines that if the base of an existing tax is expanded, the maximum authorized tax rate must be adjusted to ensure that the revenue remains consistent with prior levels. It also specifies that these limitations do not apply to taxes related to the payment of bonds or other obligations incurred before the amendment's effective date. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Michigan at the next general election for approval.
