MI HB6216

Eliminates the exemption for copyrighted motion picture films from Michigan's use tax effective October 1, 2010.

Maintains all other existing use tax exemptions including property purchased for resale, agricultural equipment, charitable organizations, and government entities.

Tangible personal property used in producing motion pictures remains subject to use tax, while materials becoming component parts of newspapers and periodicals published more than 14 times per year remain exempt.

Adds clarification that tangible personal property used or consumed in producing newspapers or periodicals published 14 times or less per year, and advertising supplements, are exempt from use tax.
