MR #23142
Resolution Supporting Michigan House Bills 4062-4063 and Senate Bills
205-207 Prohibiting Landlords from Income-based Discrimination
Sponsored By: Charles Cavell
WHEREAS all residents of Michigan should have equal access to housing
opportunities, including renters with alternate sources of non-wage income,
such as a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 Voucher), Supplemental Security
Income, Social Security Disability, Alimony, Child Support, funds from a local
nonprofit or church, or any other housing subsidy; and
WHEREAS housing subsidy recipients in Michigan are largely made up of
seniors, people with disabilities and veterans; and
WHEREAS many landlords choose not to accept these sources of income as
they are not from employment, even though these sources of income are more
reliable and less subject to uncertainty than the wages of the tenant; and
WHEREAS housing subsidy recipients typically live in a unit for 7-8 years and
Michigan landlords earn over $706 million annually from subsidies; and
WHEREAS the package of bills, comprised of House Bills 4062 and 4063
(introduced in February 2023) and Senate Bills 205, 206 and 207 (introduced in
March 2023), will extend the protections of the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to
prevent discrimination based on source of income and would prohibit landlords
from denying prospective renters because of their use of housing vouchers or
other subsidies to pay rent; and
WHEREAS in addition, modifications proposed to the Landlord-Tenant
Relationships Act will allow a person who suffered a loss because of a
landlord’s source of income discrimination to bring action to seek remedy for the
discrimination.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports Michigan House Bills 4062-4063 and Senate Bills 205-
207 aiming at ensuring equal access to housing by disallowing landlords to
deny renters based on their source of income.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners believes that all
Michiganders should have access to the same housing protections in order to
ensure they are able to achieve their economic potential and find housing that
meets their accessibility needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State
House Speaker and Minority Leader, and the members of the Oakland County
delegation to the Michigan Legislature and the Board of Commissioner’s
legislative lobbyist.

and Senate Bills 585, 586, 587, and 588 that Preempt Local Control for
Solar and Wind Developments
Sponsored By: Robert Hoffman
WHEREAS the governor of the State of Michigan has proposed the Michigan
Public Service Commission be the sole regulating authority for solar and wind
projects; and
WHEREAS by granting the Michigan Public Service Commission this authority,
local control will be preempted; and
WHEREAS should local control be preempted, a county, township, city or
village would be unable to determine the location, size, setback distance,
decibel level or any other criteria for a solar or wind facility; and
WHEREAS should local control be preempted, a county, township, city, or
village would be unable to determine requirements for construction, operation,
use, or maintenance of a solar or wind facility; and
WHEREAS local governments have historically played a critical role in zoning
and land use, ensuring that renewable energy projects are compatible and
respectful of their local residents; and
WHEREAS local units of government provide an opportunity for public input and
discourse with a high level of accessibility to local residents; and
WHEREAS local control over zoning allows local residents to consider unique
geographical, environmental, and social factors when determining the location
and regulation of wind and solar projects that the Michigan Public Service
Commission may not consider; and
WHEREAS efforts to preempt local control and declare the Michigan Public
Service Commission the regulating authority for wind and solar projects may
have unintended consequences, including potential negative impacts on local
communities, property values and quality of life; and
WHEREAS all other types of energy facilities, while regulated by the Michigan
Public Service Commission, must adhere to local zoning; and
WHEREAS this proposal grants far more regulating authority to the Michigan
Public Service Commission than for any other energy source; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) and Southeast
Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) oppose any legislative action that
may grant the Michigan Public Service Commission this power; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners joins MAC and
SEMCOG in opposing any legislative action that may grant the Michigan Public
Service Commission this power.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes Michigan House Bills 5120, 5121, 5122, and 5123,
and Senate Bills 585, 586, 587, and 588 that would preempt local control in
solar and wind locations and zoning.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State
House Speaker and Minority leader, the members of the Oakland County
