Land use: zoning and growth management; zoning enabling act; make subject to digital asset act. Amends sec. 205 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3205).

This bill amends Michigan's zoning enabling act to require local zoning ordinances to comply with several state laws, including the digital asset act, while explicitly preventing counties and townships from regulating oil and gas drilling operations. It also establishes a legal framework for mining valuable natural resources, allowing extraction unless it would cause very serious consequences, and shifts the initial burden of proof to anyone challenging a zoning decision regarding such resources. Additionally, the legislation protects renewable energy projects that received special land use approval after January 1, 2021, by classifying them as prior nonconforming uses that cannot be revoked or modified if substantial construction or specific expenditures have occurred. Local governments retain the ability to regulate operational details like noise, dust, and traffic, provided these rules reasonably accommodate customary mining activities.
