Michigan HB5936 amends permit processing deadlines and establishes a refund policy for delayed decisions.
Michigan HB5936 amends the Michigan Environmental Protection Act to revise permit processing deadlines and establish a refund policy for delayed decisions. The bill mandates that the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy must approve or deny permit applications by the processing deadline. If the department fails to meet this deadline, it must pay the applicant a refund equal to 15% of the application fee or the first periodic fee for the permit. The bill also specifies that the processing period is tolled when a permit applicant petitions for a hearing.
