Bill overview
This bill modifies the process for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish special rules for activities on state waters, such as boating and water sports. It requires the DNR to investigate whether a special rule is needed, consider factors like safety, water body characteristics, and public input, and then propose a local ordinance if a rule is deemed necessary. Local political subdivisions can initiate the process by requesting a special ordinance, and the DNR must hold a public hearing to gather feedback before making a final determination.
