Michigan SB0084 prohibits local governments from banning energy-efficient appliances in residential buildings.

Michigan SB0084 amends the 1972 Public Act 230 to prohibit local units of government from enacting ordinances that restrict the use of energy-efficient appliances in new or existing residential buildings. The bill specifically addresses gas-burning appliances with a rate of 225,000 BTU per hour or less, clothes dryers, and household cooking gas appliances. It also excludes mobile homes, modular homes, and appliances designed to burn exclusively liquefied petroleum gas. The provisions aim to ensure that energy-efficient appliances can be used without local government interference.
