The bill amends section 13f of the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically addressing felonies related to oil and gas well regulations. It introduces new legal language that categorizes specific offenses under the Michigan Compiled Laws, including false affidavits regarding oil and gas wells, evading rules related to oil and gas well records, and violations concerning sequestration permits and endangerment. The amendments replace certain references to the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA) with more specific descriptions of the offenses.
Additionally, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of several other bills from the 103rd Legislature, specifically Senate Bills No. 822, 823, 825, 826, and 827. This stipulation indicates that the changes proposed in this bill are part of a broader legislative effort to address issues related to oil and gas regulation in Michigan.
