Agriculture: agribusiness; exclusion of commercial weddings or similar events in agricultural zones; prohibit. Amends 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3101 - 125.3702) by adding sec. 204b.
This bill requires local zoning laws to allow farms and agricultural land to host commercial weddings and similar events. It prevents municipalities from banning these activities on properties zoned for agriculture, though it permits local rules regarding noise, traffic, and operating hours. The law applies to any zoning ordinance created under Michigan's zoning enabling act and takes effect 90 days after becoming law.
