Transfer wetlands enforcement to federal government

Introduced in the House

Feb. 4, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Jim Stamas (R-98)

To no longer use state agencies (and money) to enforce the wetland land use regulations required by federal law, but instead leave this to federal authorities to enforce. Michigan is one of just two states that uses their own resources to enforce these federal regulations.
