THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 29. (1) Unless permitted by this act or approved by an
authority, any restrictions standards or prerequisites of a local
government otherwise applicable to an authority and enacted after
the
effective date of this act January
20, 2009 shall not apply to
an authority. This subsection is intended to prohibit special local
legislation or ordinances applicable exclusively or primarily to an
authority and not to exempt an authority from laws generally
applicable to other persons or entities.
(2) The powers conferred in this act upon any authority or
local government shall be in addition to any other powers the
authority or local government possesses by charter or statute or
under the state constitution of 1963. The provisions of this act
apply notwithstanding any resolution, ordinance, or charter
provision to the contrary.
(3) This act shall be construed liberally to effectuate the
legislative intent and the purpose of this act as complete and
independent authorization for the performance of each and every act
and thing authorized in the act, and all powers granted in this act
shall be broadly interpreted to effectuate the intent and purposes
of this act and not as to limitation of powers.
