26) Heavy Reading and just what does it say?

Well..a very short version would be:

---------------------------------------

1. It says that counties do not have the authority to promulgate rules with respect to kennels.

---
2. It says that counties may adopt an ordinance pertaining to kennels providing that ordinance is the same as section 10

---
3. It says, "In those counties in which the board of supervisors has accepted the provisions of Sec. 10 the issuance of kennel licenses is authorized only upon inspection and certification by the director of agriculture." THAT WOULD BE INSPECTION FOR A NEW KENNEL

---
4. It says, "that act does not confer upon the board of supervisors the power to adopted regulations pertaining to dog kennels."

----------------------------------------
It says more than that, but this will give you something to help guide you through all the legal jargon. The important thing is that the counties, this county, yes even

-------

SHIAWASSEE COUNTY

DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CREATE REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO KENNELS.

---------

THE MICHIGAN DOG LAW OF 1919 GAVE THEM NO SUCH AUTHORITY.

---------

What they have adopted in the past contravenes The Dog Law of 1919 and there is nothing that gives them the authority to do that. Under "Authorities of County Board of Commissioners it says they may adopt any ordinance provided it does not contravene the statutes of the State of Michigan.

If they adopted a kennel licensing ordinance that does not match the state statute (which they did) then the county ordinance contravenes state law. (Which it does.)

They take the part that says they can adopt any ordinance, and they adopt any ordinance!

Well, that also means any ordinance they have been given the authority to adopt by statute.

That doesn't mean any ordinance that just pops into their head.

They ignore the part about "contravenes state statute", completely.

Outlaws.........they are nothin' but a bunch of outlaws.
