Higher education: state universities; exemption from local control, local input, and local zoning laws; eliminate. Amends sec. 5, art. VIII of the state constitution.

Michigan House Joint Resolution X (HJRX) proposes an amendment to the state constitution requiring the Regents of the University of Michigan to comply with local ordinances and zoning laws for any land they acquire on or after January 1, 2027. This change aims to eliminate the university's current exemption from local control, input, and zoning regulations. ([legiscan.com](https://legiscan.com/MI/text/HJRX/id/3450173?utm_source=openai))

Opponents may contend that the amendment could hinder the University of Michigan's ability to expand and develop its campuses efficiently, potentially leading to bureaucratic delays and conflicts with local authorities over land use decisions.
