What this does not establish

  • The quote comes from the official bill description and history on the Legislature's bill page, not from the bill text.
  • The bill is not enacted; the sales tax exemption it targets remains a separate in-effect record (mi-mcl-205-54ee-enterprise-data-center-sales-tax-exemption).
  • Companion House Bill 5397 of 2025 (use tax) is a separate record; House Bill 5398 of 2025 (property tax) is not part of this record.

Unresolved questions

None recorded.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
