Bill overview
This bill changes the definition of ‘dependent’ for individual income tax purposes in Michigan. Specifically, it expands the definition to include a fetus, provided it has reached at least 12 weeks of gestation as determined by a licensed physician and has been under medical care since that point. The bill clarifies that ‘physician’ is defined as someone licensed to practice medicine or osteopathic medicine. It also reaffirms existing definitions of ‘department,’ ‘employee,’ and ‘employer’ as they relate to tax withholding.
