AI Summary

  • Amends the 1933 housing act to replace specific references to "city, village, township, or county" with the general term "local unit of government" throughout the legislation.

  • Changes publication requirements for housing commission creation ordinances adopted after December 31, 2014 to use "tier B public notice with a link" as set forth in the local government public notice act, instead of requiring newspaper publication and posting in three public places.

  • Modifies election procedures for housing commission referendums to allow submission at the next general election or special election with reasonable notice, rather than requiring a special election within 15 days of petition filing.

  • Updates terminology from "empowered" to "authorized," "go into effect" to "take effect," and "voters" to "electors" for consistency with modern statutory language.

  • Makes the act contingent on House Bill No. 5560 of the 97th Legislature being enacted into law before this amendment takes effect.
