Michigan SB0526 modifies the procedure for approving local ordinances related to watercraft use.

Michigan SB0526 amends sections 80110 and 80112 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. It changes the process for approving local ordinances related to watercraft use, including vessels, water skis, and similar devices. The Department of Natural Resources must investigate and prepare a preliminary report on the need for a special rule, considering factors like safety, water body profile, and existing regulations. The political subdivision can adopt an ordinance if the department grants the request, supported by a petition from property owners.
