Economic development: brownfield redevelopment authority; brownfield redevelopment financing act; amend to exempt museum authorities. Amends sec. 2 of 1996 PA 381 (MCL 125.2652).

This bill amends Michigan's Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act to exempt museum authorities from certain provisions, allowing them to participate in the state's brownfield redevelopment programs. The primary mechanism involves updating the legal definition of "authority" within the act to explicitly include museum authorities alongside other entities like land banks and municipal bodies. By making this change, the legislation enables museums to access financing and resources designed for cleaning up and redeveloping contaminated or blighted properties. The bill does not alter the core environmental standards or tax incentive structures but rather expands the pool of eligible organizations that can utilize these economic development tools.
