Drains: other; certain objections to proposed drain projects; allow. Amends sec. 154 of 1956 PA 40 (MCL 280.154).

SB 1080 amends Michigan's Drain Code to update how drain commissioners must notify property owners and officials about proposed drainage projects. The bill requires commissioners to post bid advertisements on official websites or county sites and mandates specific notice procedures for public meetings regarding benefit apportionment. These notices must be sent via mail, publication, and personal service to landowners and local officials, including detailed information about estimated costs and project specifications. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that individual landowners may file objections if they believe the project costs exceed the benefits to their property, while allowing commissioners to adjust cost estimates without further notice.
