Property tax: personal property; retail sales and food processing operations; exempt from personal property tax. Amends sec. 9 of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.9).

HB 6006 amends Michigan's general property tax act to clarify that retail sales and food processing operations are excluded from the personal property tax exemption for agricultural operations. This change ensures that only property directly used in farming activities, such as livestock raising or crop cultivation, remains exempt, while equipment used for selling goods or processing food becomes taxable. The bill also retains specific exemptions for various entities, including charitable organizations, libraries, veterans' groups, and households, while adding detailed requirements for methane digester exemptions on farms.
