Recreation: campgrounds; regulations regarding individuals residing at campgrounds; provide for. Amends sec. 12501 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.12501) & adds sec. 12510a.
SB 615 amends Michigan's Public Health Code to clarify when individuals residing at campgrounds are considered "temporary" for regulatory purposes. It establishes specific conditions under which a campground resident qualifies as temporary, including if the local area has declared a housing shortage (via master plan, worker shortage in key industries like healthcare or construction, or data showing low rental vacancy rates or high rent costs). This affects campground operators and residents by defining residency status based on community-level housing or workforce data, rather than individual circumstances. The bill does not change general campground rules but provides clear criteria for determining temporary residency status.
