  • Restructures nuisance definitions into subsections: (a) lewdness, assignation, or prostitution; (b) gambling unless authorized under state law; (c) unlawful manufacture, transportation, or sale of controlled substances or intoxicating liquors.

  • Removes "gambling" from the original blanket nuisance provision and creates a carve-out allowing legally authorized gambling under Michigan law to be exempt from nuisance abatement.

  • Specifies that persons owning, leasing, conducting, or maintaining buildings, vehicles, boats, aircraft, or places used for these prohibited purposes are guilty of maintaining a nuisance.

  • Requires all nuisances identified in the amended section to be enjoined and abated according to the Act and court rules.
