H.B. 704 authorizes cities to impose a local income tax in accordance with a uniform city income tax ordinance provided in the bill and prohibits villages from levying local income taxes.
The bill provides that no city or village may impose a local income tax prior to January 1, 1965, except that those cities that had a city income tax in effect on January 1, 1964, (Detroit, Hamtramck, and Flint) may continue to levy the tax until January 1, 1965.
