State agencies (existing): environment, Great Lakes, and energy; circumstances under which an officer of the department may enter private property; limit. Amends 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.101 - 324.90106) by adding sec. 1506.
SB 756 amends Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to require Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy officers to obtain a warrant or explicit permission from a property owner or lessee before entering private property. This directly affects Michigan property owners and renters by limiting government access to their land without consent or legal authorization. The key provision adds Section 1506, establishing a clear requirement for warrants or permission during enforcement activities under the act. The bill does not change environmental regulations but modifies how department officials may conduct on-site inspections. It was introduced on December 17, 2025, and referred to the Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee.
