(6) Except for taxes otherwise imposed by the state of Michigan or any political subdivision of the state or any fees imposed pursuant to section 713, the sale of assets permitted under this section shall be free and clear of any liens, claims, or interests of the state of Michigan or any person claiming through or under the state of Michigan.
(7) The state administrative board for and on behalf of the state of Michigan and subject to the requirements of this section shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to establish the terms and conditions of any proposal for the sale of the state accident fund on the basis of its own criteria, to evaluate those proposals by its own criteria, and to reject any or all proposals without assigning any reasons.

If a proposal submitted by a nonprofit health care corporation operating under the nonprofit health care corporation reform act, 1980 PA 350, MCL 550.1101 to 550.1704, is accepted, the nonprofit health care corporation, in addition to payment of the purchase price, shall remit to the state treasurer an additional amount calculated by the state treasurer as being equal to the single business tax that a nonprofit health care corporation would have paid on the accumulated assets used to acquire the accident fund if the nonprofit health care corporation were a for-profit mutual insurer.
(8) Nothing in this section shall require the state administrative board to approve or authorize any transaction for the sale of the state accident fund.
(9) Not less than 30 days before the transfer is consummated with a permitted transferee, the state administrative board shall make a report to the legislature providing the name and business address of each bidder; the amount, terms, and conditions of each respective bid; and the copies of the opinions required by subsection (1)(a) and (b).
