revenue collected from this part in the immediately preceding state fiscal year. For purposes
of this subdivision only, the state treasurer, the director of the senate fiscal agency, and the

for which the adjustment is being made and the denominator of which is the Consumer Price
Index for the 2020-2021 state fiscal year, and 1.
(ii) "Total general fund/general purpose revenue" means the total general fund/general
purpose revenue and other financing sources as published in the comprehensive annual

tax levied under this section that is equal to 1.012% divided by the income tax rate levied
under this section shall be deposited in the state school aid fund created in section 11 of
article IX of the state constitution of 1963. For December 1, 2018 through September 30,

state fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, from the revenue collected under this section
$69,000,000.00 shall be deposited into the renew Michigan fund created in section 51g.
However, if, in any 1 of the 2018-2019 through the 2021-2022 state fiscal years, the
minimum foundation allowance falls below the 2017-2018 minimum foundation allowance
established under section 20 of the state school aid act of 1979, 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1620,

year that would not have been payable if the trust had in fact made distribution to its
beneficiaries at the times and in the amounts specified in section 666 of the internal revenue
code. The credit shall not reduce the tax otherwise due from the beneficiary to an amount less
than would have been due if the accumulation distribution were excluded from taxable
income.

items of income and deductions from the trust in taxable income to the extent required by this
part with respect to property owned outright.

other than corporations shall be computed in like manner and be the same as provided in the
internal revenue code subject to adjustments specifically provided for in this part.

urban consumers as defined and reported by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
