Michigan SB0988 amends the Michigan tax code to change the number of days a person has to appeal a poverty exemption claim denial from 30 days to 35 days. The bill specifies that for appeals sent via the United States Postal Service, the appeal is considered timely if the postmark is on or before the deadline. This change affects individuals who have had their poverty exemption claims denied by the July or December board of review.
