Summary

The bill changes Michigan’s condemnation law so that any agency must first present a good‑faith written offer that reflects its own appraisal of just compensation. It also obligates agencies to notify occupants of their relocation rights and to provide a $3,500 moving allowance for leaseholders with less than six months left. Property owners can sue for additional compensation if the agency fails to follow these steps.
