This bill amends Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to establish a regulatory framework for carbon dioxide capture projects and clarify definitions related to air pollution. It creates new categories of facilities (A through F) based on their size, emissions, and regulatory status to determine which entities must pay fees for air pollutants. The legislation adds specific definitions for terms like "carbon dioxide capture project," "fee-subject emissions," and "environmental justice community" to support future rules on carbon capture technology and emissions control. By updating existing sections and adding new ones, the bill provides the state with updated language to manage industrial emissions and carbon capture initiatives while maintaining consistency with federal environmental standards.
