To revise the composition of large groundwater user committees "encouraged" under a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-SB-854">2006 law</a> to adopt "voluntary" water use restrictions (which the Department of Environmental Quality has the discretion to impose anyway). The bill would allow a local government official on one of these committees to create an "ad hoc subcommittee" of residents to provide information and advice. It also increases notice requirements for large water withdrawals, and allow a local government to recommend that the DEQ review a proposed water withdrawal it opposes.
