Bill Summary
Natural resources; gas and oil; county and township zoning regulation of certain hydraulic fracturing; eliminate preemption of. Amends secs. 102 & 205 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3102 & 125.3205).
AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan zoning enabling act to allow counties and townships to regulate hydraulic fracturing operations, which involves injecting foam or fluid into a well under pressure to create fractures and enhance hydrocarbon production. Previously, state law preempted local governments from regulating the drilling, completion, or operation of oil and gas wells, but this bill specifically removes that preemption for hydraulic fracturing, granting counties and townships the authority to control these specific operations.
