Michigan HB5938 revises permit application procedures for wetlands, including timelines and review processes.

Michigan HB5938 amends the permit application process for wetlands by setting specific timelines and review procedures. It mandates that the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) must not readdress any portion of a permit that was previously examined or approved. The DEQ must notify the permit holder of any additional changes within 7 days of receiving a request for changes, and no further changes can be authorized after this period. Local units of government may review applications, hold hearings, and recommend approval, modification, or denial.
