“Voted Nay on Michigan SB 237, extending the use tax exemption on data center equipment to 2050 and creating an "enterprise data center" exemption”

The Michigan Senate concurred in the House substitute (H-6) to SB 237, giving final legislative approval to a bill extending and expanding Michigan's use tax exemption on data center equipment. The package pushed the exemption's sunset from 2035 to 2050 (2065 for facilities on brownfield or former power plant sites) and created the exemption for large new "enterprise data centers." It became Public Act 181 of 2024. A Yea was a vote to extend and expand the tax break; a Nay was a vote against it. The Senate Journal does not print party for this roll call, so no party is recorded for these members. Outcome: Passed - House substitute concurred in, Yeas 23, Nays 12, Excused 3, Not Voting 0; became Public Act 181 of 2024 Recorded vote: Nay. Body: Michigan Senate. Measure: MI SB 237 (2023-2024).
