House Joint Resolution X proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963, specifically targeting section 5 of article VIII. The amendment mandates that the Regents of the University of Michigan must adhere to local ordinances and zoning requirements for any land they acquire starting January 1, 2027. This change aims to ensure that the university's land acquisitions align with local governance and community standards.
The resolution has been introduced by a group of representatives and has been referred to the Committee on Government Operations for further consideration. If approved, the amendment will be presented to the citizens of Michigan during the next general election, allowing voters to decide on its adoption.
