Bill overview
This bill restricts local governments in Michigan from enacting ordinances that prohibit the use of certain gas-burning appliances in new or existing buildings. Specifically, it aims to prevent local regulations from banning central furnaces with a low BTU input, clothes dryers, and household cooking gas appliances with electrical cords. The bill maintains existing energy conservation provisions within the state’s construction code, excluding mobile homes, appliances using liquefied petroleum gas, and those meeting federal energy efficiency standards. It seeks to ensure a wider range of appliance choices for building owners.
