LABOR; RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS

December 22, 1999

Today I have signed Enrolled Senate Bill 198. In signing Enrolled Senate Bill 198, I note for the record that the spousal exemption, which had consistent broad-based support throughout the legislative process, is inconsistent with the general probation against residence requirements and therefore, as written, affords no exemption.

In order to utilize the spousal exemption two conditions must be satisfied:

* the person's spouse is employed by another public employer; and

* a residency requirement, to which the spouse must adhere, results in a person residing "a distance of less than 20 miles from the nearest boundary of the public employer".

To secure any benefit from a spousal exemption, the second condition must allow the public employee to reside a distance of more than 20 miles from the nearest boundary of the person's public employer. I urge the legislature to make the necessary change to the law to effectuate a meaningful spousal exemption as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

Veto Message

Subsequent to the final adjournment of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the following message from the Governor was received:

INCOME TAX; PROPERTY TAX CREDIT

December 21, 1999

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled Senate Bill 454. This bill would create a difference between federal and state tax treatment of investments in Roth IRAs.

Currently, the law is straightforward. Traditional IRA deposits are taxed upon withdrawal as retirement income. Roth IRA deposits are made with after-tax dollars and are tax-free upon withdrawal. Enrolled Senate Bill 454 would provide special treatment for funds moved from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. The net effect would be that when determining eligibility for special credits like the homestead property tax credits a new calculation, deducting income due to transfers from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, would be required. This deduction creates a special benefit for a few taxpayers who make that specific transfer. A priority of my administration is to simplify the tax system for Michigan taxpayers, not create narrow exemptions that add complexity.

Therefore, I am returning Enrolled Senate Bill 454 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

This bill was returned from the Governor on December 21, 1999, at 2:03p.m. Legislative Interim and Select Committee
