Property tax: tax tribunal; provisions of the tax tribunal act relating to the disclosure of certain evidence and the conduct of certain hearings; modify. Amends sec. 46 of 1973 PA 186 (MCL 205.746).

This bill amends the Tax Tribunal Act to clarify how the tribunal handles evidence disclosure and the protection of confidential information during hearings. It establishes specific rules for issuing protective orders to keep sensitive data private, such as trade secrets, financial records, and personal details, while ensuring that non-confidential parts of a case remain open to the public. The legislation also defines what counts as confidential information and outlines procedures for resolving disputes when parties disagree on whether certain data should be kept private. Additionally, the bill requires that tribunal proceedings be officially reported and sets up a system where costs for official transcripts are collected and used to cover future transcript expenses.
