Sec. 952. (1) The funds appropriated in part 1 for city,
village, and township revenue sharing are for grants to cities,
villages, and townships such that, subject to fulfilling the
requirements under subsection (3), each city, village, or township
that received a payment under section 950(2) of 2009 PA 128 greater

completely merges with another city, village, or township will be
treated as a single entity, such that when determining the eligible
payment under section 950(2) of 2009 PA 128 for the combined single
entity, the amount each of the merging local units was eligible to
receive under section 950(2) of 2009 PA 128 is summed. For purposes

under section 44a(14) of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206,
MCL 211.44a, for the county fiscal year that begins in the state's
fiscal year. The amount calculated under this subsection shall be

an eligible county subject to the county's fulfilling the
requirements under subsection (3).
