                                                                                      REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE

Senate Bill 474 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Sponsor:  Senator Margaret E. O'Brien

Committee:  Local Government

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Land Division Act to specify that a plat recorded under former Public Act 91 of 1839 would supersede an earlier plat to the extent there was a conflict or inconsistency regarding the dedication of a parcel for a court house in the earlier plat.

(The Land Division Act governs the layout, division, and use of land. Public Act 91 of 1839 was the original Plat Act, which was superseded by Public Act 172 of 1929. The Subdivision Control Act, Public Act 288 of 1967, repealed and replaced the Plat Act of 1929. The title of the Subdivision Control Act was changed by a 1996 amendment to its current name, the Land Division Act.)
