Introduced Text

Michigan SB0387 revises the statute of limitations for groundwater contamination cases.

Michigan SB0387 amends the Michigan Compiled Laws by adding a new section that changes when a claim for damages or injury related to a hazardous substance accrues. Under the new law, a claim accrues at the time the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the existence of the claim. This change affects individuals and entities filing lawsuits related to hazardous substances and groundwater contamination.
