OH APPLICATION EOR REHEARING.
Per Curiam.
For the purposes declared below the application for rehearing is granted.
By the Court’s decision of May 6, 1968, it was determined that the reviewed municipal action of Kalamazoo, having been taken under PA 1945, No 344 by resolution rather than ordinance, was null for reasons set forth in the opinion of Justice Souris. Since that decision was entered, however, the legislature has amended section 12 of said Act No 344, by immediately effective PA 1968, No 189,* to include the following new language:
“Any provision in this or any other aet or in the charter of any municipality to the contrary notwithstanding, any action of local legislative bodies relating to the approval or modification of a development plan heretofore taken under the provisions of this aet by resolution and all actions subsequent thereto dependent on such earlier actions are validated. Any development plan heretofore approved by resolution may thereafter be modified by resolution.”;
thus validating retroactively that which, prior to the effective date of said Act 189, was invalid.
In view of the quoted amendatory language our judgment of May 6 is ordered vacated. The record will be remanded to circuit for entry of a new judgment upholding the aforesaid municipal action.
Brennan, J., dissenting.

 Said Act No 189 became effective June 32, 1968.
