This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by adding a new section, 1506. The new provision stipulates that officers of the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy are prohibited from entering private property while exercising their powers and duties under the act unless they have obtained a warrant or have received explicit or implied permission from the property owner or lessee.

The addition of this section aims to enhance the protection of private property rights by ensuring that government officials cannot access private land without proper authorization. This change reflects a commitment to balancing environmental oversight with respect for individual property rights.
