HB 4411 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Environmental protection: litter; removal of damaged vehicle and debris; provide for cost recovery. Amends sec. 8905a of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.8905a).

House Bill 4411 amends Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to enhance cost recovery for littering violations. The bill mandates that courts order individuals convicted of littering to remove the debris and remediate any property damage, or reimburse railroads for these costs if the violation occurred on their property. It also allows courts to order violators to reimburse local community groups or government entities for cleanup and remediation expenses. Furthermore, the bill establishes that violators are civilly liable to property owners or vehicle removers for the reasonable costs of cleanup and property restoration.
