Bill overview
This bill modifies the process for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish special rules for watercraft use on state waters. It clarifies how the DNR should investigate requests from local political subdivisions for rules addressing vessel traffic and safety, requiring a public hearing and considering various factors like water body characteristics and potential conflicts. The bill also outlines the steps the DNR must take after a public hearing, including proposing a local ordinance if a special rule is deemed necessary.
