2015 Senate Bill 617 ↩

Senate Roll Call 543: Passed

To partially exempt business equipment purchases use tax. The bill originally applied only to the developers of proposed data center in the vacant “Pyramid” building near Grand Rapids, but was expanded to all companies in this particular business. For the next 15 years these firms would only have to pay 2 percent use tax on most equipment and construction materials, rather than 6 percent like others.
