Bill overview
This bill modifies a section of Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to clarify the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) role in protecting Michigan’s water resources. Specifically, it strengthens EGLE’s authority to investigate water pollution, assist flood control districts, and ensure compliance with federal water pollution control laws. The bill also places a restriction on the department’s ability to create new rules related to water pollution after 2006, while allowing existing rules to remain in effect.
