Natural resources: other; cultural resource management; provide for. Creates new act.

This bill establishes the specific roles of the Department of Natural Resources and the State Historic Preservation Office regarding archaeology, Native American cultural items, and human remains in Michigan. It designates the Department of Natural Resources as the primary contact for non-federal projects and requires it to set best practices for managing archaeological resources on state lands while consulting with federally recognized tribes. The legislation also mandates that these agencies collaborate on curating archaeological collections, ensuring data accuracy, and providing expertise to various government entities and the public. Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for responding to inadvertent discoveries of human remains and requires state departments to update public information within 60 days of the law's effective date.
