Summary

The bill lets a city, village, or township governing body file a court action to remove private covenants from commercial real estate that is zoned for retail, has been vacant for at least two years, and is classified as blighted. After holding a public hearing, the local government and the property owner become parties to the case, and a county may also intervene. The goal is to clear legal obstacles that prevent redevelopment of such properties.
