Sec. 9.

(1) Upon receipt of a request by certified mail to the commission by the holder of a commercial housing facilities exemption certificate requesting revocation of the certificate, the commission by order shall revoke the certificate.

(2) The legislative body of a local governmental unit by resolution may request the commission to revoke the commercial housing facilities exemption certificate of a new facility upon the grounds that completion of the new facility has not occurred within 2 years after the effective date of the certificate and that the purposes for which the certificate was issued are not being fulfilled because of a failure of the holder to proceed in good faith with the construction or operation of the facility in a manner consistent with the purposes of this act and in the absence of circumstances that are beyond the control of the holder.

(3) Upon receipt of the resolution, the commission shall give written notice by certified mail to the holder of the commercial housing facilities exemption certificate, to the local legislative body, to the assessor of the assessing unit, and to the legislative body of each local taxing unit which levies taxes upon property in the local governmental unit in which the new facility is located. The commission shall provide the holder of the certificate, the local legislative body, the assessor, and a representative of the legislative body of each taxing unit an opportunity for a hearing. If the commission finds that completion of the new facility has not occurred within 2 years after the effective date of the certificate and that the holder of the certificate has not proceeded in good faith with the construction or operation of the facility in a manner consistent with the purposes of this act and in the absence of circumstances that are beyond the control of the holder, the commission by order shall revoke the certificate.

(4) The order of the commission revoking the commercial housing facilities exemption certificate shall be effective beginning the December 31 following the date of the order. The commission shall send by certified mail copies of its order of revocation to the holder of the certificate, to the local legislative body, to the assessor of the assessing unit in which the new facility is located, and to the legislative body of each taxing unit which levies taxes upon property in the local governmental unit in which the new facility is located.
