HB 5856 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Land use: zoning and growth management; provision subjecting zoning authority to part 8 of clean and renewable energy and energy waste reduction act; delete. Amends sec. 205 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3205).

This bill proposes to remove a specific provision from Michigan's zoning enabling act that previously required local zoning ordinances to comply with the clean and renewable energy and energy waste reduction act. By deleting this requirement, the legislation would allow local governments to regulate land use without being bound by the state's renewable energy approval processes. The bill does not alter other existing sections of the act, which continue to address oil and gas drilling, mining extraction, and protections for certain renewable energy projects.
