Gov. Whitmer Signs Bills To Protect Children And Seniors, Cutting Taxes For Businesses

Last week Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation that would see taxes cut as well as other bills to protect children and senior citizens. 

Gov. Whitmer signed House Bills 4039 and 4253 which would lower costs for Michiganders by exempting delivery and installation charges from the sales and use taxes. 

Another House Bill, 4045 protects Michiganders by establishing the volunteer employee criminal history system. This allows Michigan State Police to continue conducting background checks for individuals who are employed as caregivers of children, elderly, and other vulnerable populations.

Gov. Whitmer says, “I’m proud to work with legislators to lower costs for Michiganders and keep our communities safe. This legislation will also help families keep more of their hard-earned money and ensure peace of mind when families entrust caregivers to look after loved ones.”
