A bill to amend 1846 RS 66, entitled “Of estates in dower, by the curtesy, and general provisions concerning real estate,” by amending the title and sections 35 and 36 (MCL 554.135 and 554.136) and by adding sections 36a and 36b.
The bill proposes revisions to the title and sections 35 and 36 of the Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL 554.135 and 554.136), adding new sections 36a and 36b. These amendments are designed to allow aliens to acquire, hold, convey, and mortgage land or any interest in land under conditions similar to those for native citizens, with specific restrictions outlined in the new section 36a. This section explicitly prohibits adversarial entities, defined as entities on the Entity List, those loyal to such entities, governmental entities of nonmarket economy countries, or state sponsors of terrorism, from owning, purchasing, leasing, possessing, controlling, or acquiring land in Michigan from the amendment's effective date, with certain exceptions and conditions.
