SB 985 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Traffic control: driver license; reference to fire protection fund; remove. Amends sec. 52706 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.52706). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0706'24

This bill amends Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to clarify how the state manages land sold to public agencies for forestry or recreation. It establishes rules for when the state must give up its right to reclaim this land and sets specific requirements for selling it again, such as mandating public hearings and limiting sales to other public entities or fair market value transactions. A key provision directs that proceeds from future land sales exceeding $18 million must be deposited into the state's fire protection fund rather than the general fund. The legislation also defines terms like "municipal forestland" and "prime land" to ensure consistent application of these new rules.
