The bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan by updating definitions and adding new provisions related to campgrounds. It clarifies the definition of "campground" and modifies the term "department" to refer to the "department of environment, Great Lakes, and energy" instead of "environmental quality." Additionally, it introduces a new definition for "local unit of government" and makes several adjustments to the definitions of "mobile home," "person," and "recreational unit," ensuring clarity in the context of temporary living quarters.
Furthermore, the bill establishes a new section, 12510a, which defines the conditions under which an individual occupying a campsite at a campground is considered temporary. This includes individuals residing in areas where a state of emergency has been declared by the governor, either in Michigan or another state, as well as those in campgrounds located within 50 miles of such local units of government. The bill also allows local governments to adopt ordinances or resolutions indicating a shortage of workers in various industries, which could affect the status of temporary occupancy at campgrounds.
