This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by designating specific lands in Michigan as dark sky preserves. The designated areas include state-owned lands at Lake Hudson, Wilderness State Park, Rockport State Recreation Area, Negwegon State Park, and Thompson's Harbor State Park, as well as county-owned lands at Dr. T. K. Lawless Park and Headlands International Dark Sky Park. These designations aim to protect the night sky from light pollution and promote astronomical observation.

Additionally, the bill removes the provision that previously prohibited the establishment of dark sky preserves in the Upper Peninsula. This change allows for the potential designation of dark sky preserves in that region, expanding the opportunities for conservation and public enjoyment of natural night skies.
