Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1994 PA 451, entitled"Natural resources and environmental protection act,"(MCL 324.101 to 324.90106) by adding section 1506.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by adding a new provision that restricts employees of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) from entering private property without first obtaining either a warrant or explicit consent from the property owner or occupant when carrying out their official duties under the act. The key purpose of this legislation appears to be protecting private property rights by ensuring that government environmental officials cannot arbitrarily access private land without proper legal authorization or permission from the landowner. By requiring a warrant or consent, the bill provides a safeguard against potential intrusions and establishes a clear legal standard for how EGLE staff must conduct inspections or investigations that might involve accessing private property.
