Property tax: exemptions; exemption of certain facilities of a public university; prohibit if used solely to operate a data center. Amends sec. 7n of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.7n).
This bill modifies Michigan's property tax laws to exclude certain university data centers from tax exemptions. It specifically targets public universities, defined as those receiving state school aid, by removing their tax-free status for facilities used solely to operate data centers. The legislation defines a data center as a building housing infrastructure for third-party commercial data processing. This change directly affects public universities in Michigan that currently rely on property tax exemptions for their data center operations.
