Public utilities: natural gas utilities; local units of government imposing a ban on the use of natural gas or installation of natural gas infrastructure; prohibit. Creates new act.

SB 275 creates a new act to prohibit local governments in Michigan from imposing bans on the use of natural gas. It also prevents counties, cities, villages, and townships from prohibiting the installation of natural gas infrastructure within their jurisdictions. Any local ordinance, resolution, or policy adopted by a municipality on or after the bill's effective date that violates these provisions would be deemed void and unenforceable. This bill directly affects local governments and their ability to regulate natural gas use and infrastructure.
