Sec. 8. (1) If forestland that was subject to the transitional qualified forest property specific tax is not transitional qualified forest property as determined by the department, the department shall notify the local tax collecting unit and that property shall be immediately placed on the tax roll by the local tax collecting unit if the local tax collecting unit has possession of the tax roll or by the county treasurer if the county has possession of the tax roll as though the exemption had not been granted. A corrected tax bill shall be issued for each tax year being adjusted by the local tax collecting unit if the local tax collecting unit has possession of the tax roll or by the county treasurer if the county has possession of the tax roll.

(a) That forestland shall be exempt from the tax levied by a local school district for school operating purposes as qualified forest property under section 7jj of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.7jj[1], upon completion of the procedures required by section 7jj(16) of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.7jj[1].
