History: Laws 1979, ch. 391, § 17; 2018, ch. 60, § 16.
The 2018 amendment, effective May 16, 2018, extended the powers and duties as identified in the Metropolitan Redevelopment Code from only municipalities to now include counties, and made technical changes; replaced "municipality" and "governing body" with "local government" throughout the section; and after "direct or indirect, in any", added "metropolitan redevelopment".
