Mich. Comp. Laws § 8.4c

Sec. 4c. As used in the statutes of this state, "shall not apply" means that the pertinent provision is not operative as to certain persons or things or in conjunction with a particular date or dates. Use of the phrase "shall not apply" does not result in the repeal, expiration, termination, or otherwise legislating out of existence of that portion of a statute to which the phrase pertains, but only relates to the operational effect of the provision.
