The bill amends the Land Division Act of 1967, specifically section 108, to clarify and expand the regulations surrounding the division of land parcels in Michigan. It establishes that a division is not subject to platting requirements, provided it results in a maximum of 10 parcels of 1.5 acres each if the remaining parcels are 3 acres or larger. The bill modifies the number of parcels allowed from 4 to 10 for the first 10 acres of a parent parcel and introduces additional provisions for creating parcels based on the size of the parent tract. It also allows for the creation of additional parcels under certain conditions, such as the establishment of new roads or if one of the resulting parcels is at least 60% of the parent tract.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that allow for the partitioning or splitting of parcels into a greater number of parcels than previously authorized, provided that such actions comply with local ordinances. It specifies that parcels created under certain conditions may not be further partitioned without adhering to platting requirements unless they meet the criteria outlined in the new provisions. The amendments aim to provide more flexibility in land division while ensuring compliance with local regulations. The act will take effect one year after being enacted into law.
