The People of the State of Michigan enact:
CHAPTER VII—POWERS OF COUNCIL
Sec. 2. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the council may prescribe the terms and conditions upon which a license is granted and may require payment of a reasonable and proper amount for a license. The person receiving the license shall, if required by the council or an ordinance of the village, before the issuing of the license, execute a bond to the village in an amount prescribed by the council, with 1 or more sufficient sureties, conditioned for a faithful performance of the laws relating to the village and the ordinances of the council, and otherwise conditioned as the council may prescribe. A license is revocable by the council. If a license is revoked for noncompliance with the terms and conditions upon which the license was granted, or on account of a violation of an ordinance or regulation passed or authorized by the council, the person holding the license shall, in addition to any other sanctions imposed, forfeit payments made for the license. The council may provide sanctions for a person who, without license, does something for which a license is required by an ordinance of the council. This subsection is subject to the local government occupational licensing act.
(2) The council of a village may provide for the support and relief of poor persons residing in the village and, for that purpose, may provide, by ordinance or resolution, for the appointment of a director of the poor for the village and may prescribe the director’s duties and vest him or her with authority proper for the exercise of those duties.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act is retroactive and takes effect January 1, 2018.
Enacting section 2. This amendatory act does not take effect unless House Bill No. 5955 of the 99th Legislature is enacted into law.
