Environmental protection: landfills; civil, administrative, and criminal fines; increase. Amends secs. 5529, 5530, 5531, 11546 & 11549 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.5529 et seq.).

HB 5333 increases penalties for environmental violations related to landfills under Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. It raises the maximum administrative, civil, and criminal fines for landfill owners or operators from $10,000 to $100,000 per violation (or per day of ongoing violation), and increases the total administrative fine cap for landfill operators from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The bill amends specific sections (5529, 5530, 5531) to implement these higher fines for violations including failure to obtain permits, noncompliance with permits, or other regulatory breaches. These changes directly affect landfill operators by imposing significantly higher financial penalties for violations. The bill does not create new requirements but increases enforcement consequences for existing regulatory breaches.
