The bill would exempt the equipment owned by the Nevada company that occupied the former Steelcase “Pyramid” building in Grand Rapids from local debt millages, local special assessment levies, and some school property tax levies ("revenue enhancement" millages and "sinking fund" taxes).

Amendment offered
by
To tie-bar the bill to House Bill 5188, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. HB 5188 would require that foregone state school aid fund tax revenue lost due to these tax breaks must be “reimbursed” by transferring a like amount of revenue from other state taxes.

The bill would exempt the equipment owned by the Nevada company that occupied the former Steelcase “Pyramid” building in Grand Rapids from local debt millages, local special assessment levies, and some school property tax levies ("revenue enhancement" millages and "sinking fund" taxes). The House-passed version links this to passage of bills that would require the state to reimburse the local school taxes not collected due to granting this privilege.
