Legislative History

(P.A. 93-361, S. 13, 17; P.A. 11-51, S. 44; P.A. 15-244, S. 195.) History: P.A. 93-361 effective July 1, 1993; pursuant to P.A. 11-51, “Commissioner of Public Works” was changed editorially by the Revisors to “Commissioner of Administrative Services”, effective July 1, 2011; P.A. 15-244 replaced reference to Sec. 12-19a with reference to Sec. 12-18b, effective July 1, 2016. Any lien placed on property after July 1, 1995, that is tax exempt under section is invalid and subject to discharge; whether a particular arrangement constitutes a lease agreement or long-term financing agreement depends on the entire circumstances and purpose of the instruments in question rather than the form or title given to a document; statute exempts from taxation on or after July 1, 1995, property that is the subject of a long-term financing agreement entered into by commissioner; statute does not require that such agreement be entered into on or before July 1, 1995. 53 CA 438.
