The exercise of the powers granted by this act will be for the benefit of the people of the state and shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes thereof. As the performance of public services will constitute the performance of essential government functions, any project or part thereof owned by the state and used for performing any public service pursuant to a contract entered into under this act that would be exempt from taxation or assessments in the absence of such contract shall remain exempt from taxation and assessments levied by the state and its subdivisions to the same extent as if not subject to that contract. The gross receipts and income of a successful proposer derived from providing public services under a contract through a project owned by the state shall be exempt from taxation levied by the state and its subdivisions. Any transfer or lease between a proposer and the state of a project or part thereof, or item included or to be included in the project, shall be exempt from any taxes levied if the state is retaining ownership of the project or part thereof that is being transferred or leased.
