House Bill 5532

Sponsored by Representative Julie Rogers (D-Kalamazoo), if passed into law, House Bill 5532 would establish a basic operational framework for where wake boats can operate without damaging sensitive inland lake ecosystems.

The language of the bill would require wake boat operators to stay at least 500 feet from shore and in waters of at least 20 feet in depth when engaged in enhanced wake sport mode.

 

MI Senate Bill 299 & 300 / MI House Bill 4479 & 4480

House Bills 4479 and 4480 and Senate Bills 299 and 300 were proposed in response to the sad fact that Michigan remains the only state in the nation that does not have a statewide septic code. The proposed legislation would mandate routine inspections and essential maintenance for all septic systems. If passed into law, the bills would also establish a database for inspections, a certification system for inspectors and a technical advisory committee to provide recommendations for septic system management.
