The parties are directed to include among the issues to be briefed: (1) whether petitioner has demonstrated that it is entitled to the charitable institution exemptions set forth in MCL 211.7o and MCL 911.9(a); (2) whether petitioner has shown that it is entitled to the public health exemption under MCL 211.7r; and (3) whether the Tax Tribunal or the judiciary may impose a threshold level of charitable care or public health services when the Legislature has not done so. The motions to file brief amicus curiae by the Michigan Health Hospital Association and the Michigan Rural Health Clinics Organization in support of petitioner-appellant are considered, and they are GRANTED. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the questions presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
