Bill Summary

A bill to create the citizen's advisory working group; to prescribe the powers and duties of the citizen's advisory working group; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a "citizen's advisory working group" within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to advise and assist the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) on matters related to PFAS contamination. MPART is a state team created to address PFAS, which are a class of chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances. The advisory group will be composed of individuals who are current or former residents of "impacted communities" – meaning cities, townships, or villages with at least one official MPART PFAS site where contamination has been identified by the state – or who have been otherwise exposed to PFAS. The group's duties will include conducting community outreach, providing input on PFAS contamination, reviewing and recommending new strategies to MPART, and advising on how to improve public awareness of health risks and responses to PFAS contamination, all while operating under open meeting and freedom of information laws, though members will not be compensated but can be reimbursed for expenses.
