Natural resources: other; director of the department of natural resources; provide for election of. Adds sec. 21a to art. V of the state constitution.

This proposed constitutional amendment (SJR C) would require the director of Michigan's Department of Natural Resources to be elected by voters starting in 2030, replacing the current practice of gubernatorial appointment. The bill specifies that the director would serve a four-year term beginning January 1 after election, with candidates nominated by party conventions as prescribed by law. Vacancies would still be filled by a gubernatorial appointment. This change directly affects the selection process for the natural resources director position and requires voter approval to become part of the state constitution.
