From my understanding, which could be wrong, it makes state law (MCL) the law of the land, disallowing local governments (cities/ counties) from enforcing stricter local laws. Which would mean as long as you follow state law, you won’t become a felon for crossing county lines with an otherwise legal blade.

Is this any clearer than the school and college rules that have muddied gun rights in Michigan?

This is how "Political subdivision" is defined in the bill:
For comparison, the firearm preemption law (MCL 123.1102) instead uses the term "Local unit of government" and defines it as this:(b) "Political subdivision" means any county, city, village, township, municipal corporation, or special district, or any board, commission, or agency of a county, city, village, township, municipal corporation, or special district.
I think based on the more detailed language in the knife preemption bill (ie "special district" and "board"), then it would apply to school boards and school districts.(b) "Local unit of government" means a city, village, township, or county.
