Environmental protection: permits; environmental permit review commission; eliminate. Amends secs. 1301, 1307 & 1311 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.1301 et seq.) & repeals secs. 1313 - 1317 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.1313 - 324.1317).

This bill eliminates the Environmental Permit Review Commission and repeals the specific sections of law that created it. It directly affects the Department of Environmental Quality and the various state agencies that issue environmental permits, such as those for mining, waste disposal, and water use. The legislation removes the requirement for the state to appoint panels or hold public hearings to review certain permit applications, thereby streamlining the administrative process. While it retains existing definitions for terms like "permit" and "processing period," it effectively ends the oversight role previously held by the commission.
