Economic development: other; 1964 PA 286; amend to reflect elimination of the Michigan strategic fund. Amends sec. 6b of 1964 PA 286 (MCL 247.806b). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0631'25
SB 661 amends Michigan law to update rules for using state-owned property in film production. It allows film producers to use state property for free under specific terms, while prohibiting use for obscene content or productions requiring performer records. The bill clarifies the definition of "film" to include modern formats like streaming content and video games, and requires state transportation departments to cooperate with the Michigan Film Office. This change directly affects film producers seeking to use state-owned locations and aligns the law with the elimination of the Michigan Strategic Fund (referenced in the bill title). The update removes outdated references to the Strategic Fund while maintaining existing protections for state property use.
