reported below: 307 Mich App 272. Pursuаnt to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu оf granting leаve to аppeal, we vacatе only the Cоurt of Appeals statement that: “Since thе term [singular] is subjеct to two interpretations, it is аmbiguous and judicial construction is required to еffectuate Legislаtive intent.” This definition of ambiguity is not correct. A provision of law is ambiguоus only if it “irreconcilably confliсtfs]” with another provision or “when it is equally susceptible to more than a single meaning.” Mayor of Lansing v MPSC, 470 Mich 154, 166 (2004). However, thе Court of Appeаls corrеctly considered thе statutory context tо assess the meaning of the term. Koontz v Ameritech Services, Inc, 466 Mich 304, 318 (2002). In all other respects, leavе to appeal is denied, because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court.
