(d) Make payments in lieu of taxes of an amount as may be imposed pursuant to section 11a by the incorporating unit, which sum, if any, shall be paid to the incorporating unit and other taxing units in proportion to the amount of taxes levied by that incorporating unit and the other taxing units in the year in which the payment in lieu of taxes is imposed.  (2) After bonds issued for a project have been retired, the rentals fixed by the commission pursuant to subsection (1) may include an amount not greater than the maximum annual principal and interest that had been due on bonds issued for the project. The rental receipts attributable to this subsection may be used by the commission for any purpose for which bonds or notes may be issued under this act or to secure bonds or notes issued by the borrower pursuant to this act for other projects of the commission.

Therefore, this act is hereby declared to be immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, convenience and welfare of the people of the state of Michigan.
