     A bill to amend 1978 PA 59, entitled

 

"Condominium act,"

 

by amending sections 46 and 53 (MCL 559.146 and 559.153), section

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 46. (1) The developer or a co-owner may impose reasonable

 

restrictions or covenants running with the land upon a condominium

 

unit in the condominium project, in addition to the reasonable

 

restrictions and covenants as may be contained in the condominium

 

documents, so long as such if the additional restrictions and

 

covenants are not otherwise prohibited by law and as long as they

 

are consistent with the condominium documents. The restrictions and

 

covenants may include provisions governing the joint or common

 

ownership of condominium units in the condominium project and the

 

basis upon which the usage of the condominium unit or condominium

 

units may be shared from time to time by the joint or common owners

 

thereof.

 

     (2) An association composed of 4,000 or more co-owners may, by

 

a majority of the co-owners voting, modify or terminate a

 

restriction or restrictive covenant imposed under this section if

 

the restriction or restrictive covenant was imposed by a developer

 

who is no longer in business or no longer has a financial interest

 

in the association.

 

     Sec. 53. The administration of a condominium project shall be

 

governed by bylaws recorded as part of the master deed, or as

 

provided in the master deed. An amendment to the bylaws of any

 

condominium project shall not eliminate the mandatory provisions

 

required by section 54. An amendment shall be inoperative until

 

recorded. A restriction or restrictive covenant that is part of the

 

bylaws may be modified or terminated as provided under section 46.
