Property: other; act regarding termination of tenancy by the entireties; revise gender-specific language. Amends sec. 1 of 1927 PA 210 (MCL 557.101). TIE BAR WITH: HJR F'25
HB 4606 updates Michigan's property law to replace gendered terms like "husband and wife" with "spouses" in rules about terminating tenancies by the entirety. This means married couples owning property under this arrangement can now have their rights clarified without gender-specific language, allowing either spouse to transfer their interest to the other. The bill directly affects married couples holding property as tenants by the entirety, ensuring the legal process reflects modern relationships. The change is contingent on a related constitutional amendment (HJR F'25) being adopted.
