AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act to make zoning ordinances subject to the Data Center Regulation Act, meaning that the rules and regulations established by the Data Center Regulation Act will now apply to how local governments can zone areas for data centers. The Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (2006 PA 110) is the primary law that grants cities and townships the authority to regulate land use through zoning ordinances. By adding the Data Center Regulation Act to the list of laws that zoning ordinances must comply with, this bill ensures that the specific requirements for data centers, as outlined in that separate act, are considered and followed when local zoning decisions are made.
