Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill amends Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to specify activities that do not require a permit for work in certain waters and wetlands. It adds new exemptions, such as for small, non-commercial residential ponds and the placement of spoils from their excavation, and clarifies existing exemptions for agricultural drain maintenance and other activities. The bill also makes some of these new pond-related exemptions retroactive to January 1, 2020.
