Sec. 78j. (1) If a petition for foreclosure is filed under section 78h, the foreclosing governmental unit shall schedule a hearing not later than 7 days immediately preceding the date of the foreclosure hearing under section 78k to show cause why absolute title to the property forfeited to the county treasurer under section 78g should not vest in the foreclosing governmental unit. The foreclosing governmental unit may hold combined or separate hearings for different owners or persons with a property interest in the property forfeited to the county treasurer. (2) The owner and any person with a property interest in the property forfeited to the county treasurer may appear at the hearing held pursuant to this section and redeem that property or show cause why absolute title to that property should not vest in the foreclosing governmental unit for any of the reasons set forth in section 78k(2). (3) If the owner or any person with a property interest in the property forfeited to the county treasurer prevails in a hearing under subsection (1), the foreclosing governmental unit shall notify the county treasurer and the county treasurer shall correct the tax roll to reflect that determination.
