2007 Senate Bill 885 ↩

House Roll Call 213: Passed

To expand the definition of a "renewable energy facility" renaisssance zone to include a facility that "creates energy from agricultural crops or processed products from agricultural crops," rather that just residues from agricultural products. This would authorize these extensive tax breaks for ethanol producers. The bill would also require a recommendation from the Michigan Agriculture Commission as a condition of creating a renaissance zone offering tax breaks to renewable energy projects that use agricultural commodities or plant products. Also, to authorize certain expansions of tool and die renaissance recovery zones. See also House Bill 5100.
