Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, tangible personal property of a responding out-of-state business, upon being installed or affixed to real property within this state, sold or transferred to in-state persons, or otherwise coming to rest and acquiring situs within this state, is subject to use tax, ad valorem tax, and any other tax imposed directly or indirectly on such property. This part does not limit or otherwise alter or amend the power of a court to exercise personal or in rem jurisdiction over responding out-of-state businesses, responding out-of-state employees, or their property; provided, that such jurisdiction must not be used as a basis to impose a tax, fee, or other obligation contrary to this part. This part does not confer immunity from criminal prosecution in a court of this state.
