Bill > HB6136

This bill amends the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, which provides the framework for local governments to regulate land use through zoning ordinances. Specifically, it adds the "Data Center Community Benefit Agreement Act" to a list of other state laws that zoning ordinances must comply with. This means that when a local government creates or updates its zoning rules, it must now also consider and adhere to the requirements of the Data Center Community Benefit Agreement Act, which likely outlines specific conditions or agreements related to the development of data centers within a community. The bill also clarifies existing provisions regarding the regulation of oil and gas wells and the extraction of valuable natural resources, ensuring that local zoning ordinances do not unduly restrict these activities unless significant negative consequences would arise.
