Sec. 1.

    The total area of the state of Michigan is hereby declared to be 96,720 square miles consisting of 57,022 square miles of land and 39,698 square miles of inland water as based upon the boundaries of the state of Michigan according to article I, section 1 of the constitution of the state of Michigan of 1909, and United States statutes at large, volume 5, page 49, chapter 99, approved June 15, 1836.

History: 1945, Act 78, Eff. Sept. 6, 1945 ;-- CL 1948, 2.1

Compiler's Notes:

    In this section, “article I, section 1 of the constitution of the state of Michigan of 1909” evidently refers to the Constitution of 1908. There is no comparable provision in the Constitution of 1963.
