This bill aims to prevent municipalities in Michigan from enacting bans on the use of natural gas or propane, as well as the installation of related infrastructure. It defines key terms such as "governing body," "municipality," "natural gas infrastructure," and "propane infrastructure" to clarify the scope of the legislation. The bill explicitly states that starting from its effective date, local governing bodies are prohibited from adopting any ordinances, resolutions, or policies that would restrict the use of these energy sources or their infrastructure.
Additionally, any local ordinances, resolutions, or policies that conflict with this new law and are adopted after its effective date will be deemed void and unenforceable. This legislation reinforces the state's authority over energy use and infrastructure, ensuring that municipalities cannot impose restrictions that would limit access to natural gas and propane.
