Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1895 PA 215, entitled"The fourth class city act,"by amending section 1 of chapter XI (MCL 91.1), as amended by 2018 PA 499.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Fourth Class City Act by replacing the term "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity" in the section describing the general powers of city councils. Specifically, the bill modifies the language that allows cities to prohibit certain behaviors, changing the terminology from "prostitution" to "commercial sexual activity" while maintaining the city council's authority to prevent and regulate such activities. The bill also adds a reference to the Local Government Occupational Licensing Act (2018 PA 493) in a subsection, ensuring that the city's powers are consistent with this broader state legislation. The amendment will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, and its implementation is tied to the passage of a related House Bill (HB 5016). The change appears to be part of a broader effort to update legal language around sex work and municipal regulatory powers, potentially reflecting evolving societal attitudes and approaches to addressing commercial sexual activity.
