What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to administer a

revolving loan program to assist municipalities and owners of homes located on the

shore of Lake Michigan or Lake Superior where the structural integrity of municipal

buildings or homes is threatened by erosion of the shoreline. The bill appropriates

$5,000,000 to DNR for this purpose and increases DNR's position authorization by

0.5 FTE to administer the program. The bill requires DNR to promulgate rules to

administer the program, including eligibility requirements and income limitations,

and authorizes DNR to promulgate emergency rules for the period before permanent

rules take effect.
