Michigan SB0441 establishes a framework for local governments to create stormwater management utilities and fees.

Michigan SB0441, known as the "stormwater management utility act," allows local governments to establish stormwater management utilities and fees. Local units of government can create these utilities and adopt stormwater management utility fees, which must be deposited into a stormwater enterprise fund. The act mandates that local governments adopt a stormwater management plan, hold public hearings, and provide notice of the hearings. It also outlines procedures for property owners to appeal stormwater management utility fees, including the establishment of an appeals board.
