A bill to amend 1994 PA 451, entitled “Natural resources and environmental protection act,” by amending section 73102 (MCL 324.73102), as amended by 1998 PA 546.
House Bill 4682 would amend section 73102 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), which addresses circumstances under which a person is prohibited from entering or remaining on another person’s property to engage in a recreational activity or trapping without the consent of the property owner or owner’s authorized representative. Among other situations, a person currently cannot enter without permission if the property is posted in a conspicuous manner against entry, with a minimum letter height on the posting signs of one inch and each sign at least 50 square inches. The signs must be spaced to enable a person to observe at least one sign at any point of entry upon the property. The bill would remove the above spacing requirement and instead provide that the signs must be posted at intervals of no more than 250 feet along the boundary of the property.
