Introduced in the House on June 1, 2004, to exempt motion picture or TV production companies that spend more than $250,000 on a film or TV show in Michigan from the Single Business Tax (SBT) liability they would otherwise have to pay on their Michigan business expenditures. Note: Because the SBT is a value added tax, it is levied not on how much a business makes, but on a formula determined by its net spending on business operations
The vote was 95 in favor, 9 opposed and 5 not voting
