This bill amends the Fourth Class City Act by updating the general powers of city corporations as outlined in Chapter XI, specifically Section 1. Notable changes include the insertion of the term "commercial sexual activity" in place of "prostitution," which broadens the scope of activities that cities can regulate. Additionally, the bill introduces a reference to the local government occupational licensing act, ensuring that the council's powers are consistent with state laws regarding occupational licensing.

The bill also clarifies that the council may enact ordinances for the safety and welfare of city inhabitants while prohibiting the granting of exclusive rights or privileges. It establishes that the amendments will take effect 90 days after being enacted into law, but only if House Bill No. 5016 is also enacted. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and clarify the powers of city councils in Michigan, enhancing their ability to regulate various activities within their jurisdictions.
