To ensure a consistent and predictable business climate for
Michigan taxpayers, agency guidance and rulemaking must
adhere to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA). Too
often, the Michigan Department of Treasury has issued
“notices,” “policy directives,” “bulletins,” “frequently asked
questions” and other “guidance” that is not binding on the
agency and has not been vetted appropriately through the
APA. We encourage the Office of Regulatory Reinvention
to continue its work in developing a consistent and predictable
regulatory process as part of the reinvention of Michigan
tax policy.
