Yes, MCL 124.504 is very nice, to my layman mind, in preventing local units of government from getting around preemption through the use of forming so-called "interlocal" or "inter-governmental" entities or agreements.
Essentially, MCL 124.504 limits the power and privileges ofsuch entities or agreementsto the least powerful and/or privileged of the "public agencies" which participate.
In the case of ANY entity or agreement which has as a participant even one "local unit of government", no preempted firearms regulation is allowed, because the language of MCL 124.504 isquite clear that the powers of the entity or agreement are limited to what the participants can"exercise separately".

Nice! Where'd you get your law degree from? Jeez!Run that by Ms. Parker and see what she thinks. If she haspreempted public agencies participating in her district library, she needs to be in compliance with MCL 124.504 and remove regulations of firearms that such public agencies can't "exercise separately".
