as specified in section 19.

for a new facility or a speculative building for which an
industrial facilities exemption certificate became effective before

value of the facility excluding the land and the inventory personal
property by the sum of 1/2 of the total mills levied as ad valorem
taxes for that year by all taxing units within which the facility
is located other than mills levied for school operating purposes by
a local school district within which the facility is located or

excluding the land and the inventory personal property by the sum
of 1/2 of the total mills levied as ad valorem taxes for that year
by all taxing units within which the facility is located other than

general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.34c, the amount of
the industrial facility tax in each year for a new facility or a
speculative building shall be determined by multiplying the taxable
value of the facility excluding the land and the inventory personal
property by the sum of 1/2 of the total mills levied as ad valorem
taxes for that year by all taxing units within which the facility
is located other than mills levied under the state education tax
act, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, and the number of mills

component with respect to which the termination or revocation has
occurred.

facilities exemption certificate under section 7 for a new
facility, the state treasurer may exclude 1/2 or all of the number
of
mills levied under the state education tax act, Act No. 331 of

Michigan Compiled Laws 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, from
the specific tax calculation on the facility under section 14(3) if
the state treasurer determines that reducing the number of mills
used to calculate the specific tax under section 14(3) is necessary
to reduce unemployment, promote economic growth, and increase
capital investment in this state. This section does not apply to
the personal property tax component of a certificate described in
section 14(4).
