Economic development: other; Michigan military act; amend to reflect elimination of the Michigan strategic fund. Amends sec. 337 of 1967 PA 150 (MCL 32.737). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0631'25
SB 648 allows film producers in Michigan to use military-owned property for free when filming, under terms set by the state's adjutant general. It directly affects film production companies seeking to shoot on military land, requiring them to avoid obscene content or material involving minors under 18. The bill updates the definition of "film" to include modern formats like streaming content, documentaries, and video games, and mandates cooperation between the military department and the Michigan Film Office. It does not change funding but streamlines access to military locations for the film industry.
