Environmental protection: other; environmental science advisory board; eliminate. Repeals pt. 26 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.2601 - 324.2611).
SB 393 proposes to eliminate Part 26 of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, which currently establishes the Environmental Science Advisory Board. This legislative change would effectively dissolve the board by removing the specific sections of law that created it and defined its functions. The bill directly impacts the state's administrative structure by ending the formal advisory role this board plays in environmental matters. If passed, the repeal would leave the existing framework for environmental science advice without this specific statutory entity.
