MI HB5886

Expands definition of "qualified local governmental unit" to include any city, village, or township, removing previous income and population-based restrictions.

Changes "commercial property" definition to use "includes" instead of "shall also include" and updates language to reflect current statutory references to the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act.

Adds new subsection (5) to Section 3 requiring obsolete property rehabilitation districts established after the bill's effective date to be adjacent to existing development, utilize existing infrastructure, have access to municipal water and sewer services on at least one frontage, and encourage compact development.

Updates language throughout from "shall" to present tense verbs (e.g., "shall include" to "includes") and changes "pursuant to" to "under" for consistency.

Clarifies that Section 3(1) is subject to the new subsection (5) requirements for newly established districts.
