Introduced in the House

June 23, 2010

Introduced by Rep. David Agema (R-74)

To narrow the scope of a Freedom of Information Act exemption in the state <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2008-HB-5841">film subsidy law</a>. Under current law the state Film Office can keep secret information, records or other data submitted on commercial and financial operations submitted by a production company. The bill removes this part the FOIA exemption, limiting it to just intellectual property or information whose release may put the company at a competitive disadvantage.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
