Sometimes laws are written and then repealed with their features incorporated under larger, more comprehensive laws. Such was the case with this law which became part of the Elliott Larson Law of 1976. The new law dealt not only with housing, but also with voting and civil rights.

(This law was originally compiled by the Legislative Service Bureau and published by the Department of Administration, Lansing, Michigan.)
