To allow the governing bodies of the counties and townships in which a newly designated natural river area is located to review the designation beginning two years after the designation is made, and require the designation to be rescinded if a majority of them vote to do so. Then, every ten years, there would be a new 90 day review and rejection period. A natural river designation gives the Department of Natural Resources the power to impose zoning limitations on the uses to which property owners may put their property. See also House Bill 4642.
