The bill strengthens cleanup standards by requiring, where technically practical, restoration of affected aquifers to state drinking water standards and halting the spread of contamination. It updates the process for establishing generic and site-specific cleanup criteria, emphasizing the use of the most current and scientifically valid toxicity values and exposure assumptions, and mandates public notice and comment periods for revisions. Additionally, the bill modernizes the approach to venting groundwater and groundwater-surface water interface (GSI) compliance, allowing for alternative monitoring, ecological and modeling demonstrations, and technical infeasibility waivers, with specific timelines for departmental responses. | MI Rep. Jason Morgan (D-MI-023) | Introduced or Prefiled | Toxic Substances | http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2025-HB-4636 | |
| MI H.B.4637 | Expands liability provisions for owners, operators, and other parties involved with facilities where hazardous substances are released, including detailed exemptions for certain government entities, residential property owners, and others. Notably, the bill introduces a new cause of action for individuals who have been exposed to hazardous substances but do not yet have a present injury or disease. Under the new section 20136, such individuals (or those whose biological parent was exposed before their birth) can seek court-ordered medical monitoring if they can demonstrate, by a preponderance of evidence, significant exposure, increased risk of serious disease, medical necessity for monitoring, and that the responsible party employed at least five full-time employees at the time of the release. Awards for medical monitoring are to be paid into a court-supervised program managed by qualified health professionals, and plaintiffs may also recover reasonable attorney fees and litigation costs. The bill specifies that this medical monitoring remedy is exclusive for individuals without present injury but does not preclude other civil or injunctive remedies for manifest diseases. The statute of limitations in section 20140 is amended to clarify that it does not apply to actions for medical monitoring under the new section 20136. The bill aligns with public health and environmental justice priorities by providing a legal pathway for exposed individuals to access early detection and preventive care, even before the onset of disease, and by holding responsible parties accountable for the costs of such monitoring. | MI Rep. Donavan McKinney (D-MI-011) | Introduced or Prefiled | Toxic Substances | http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2025-HB-4637 | |
| MI H.B.4638 | Specifies cleanup criteria and target detection limits developed by the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy under Part 201 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (1994 PA 451, MCL 324.20101 to 324.20142) are not considered 'rules' under the Act. This change means that such environmental standards can be established or modified without undergoing the formal rulemaking process typically required for agency regulations, potentially expediting their implementation. The bill also maintains existing exclusions for various agency actions, such as certain health and welfare policies, contract provisions, and standards set by other commissions. This amendment is particularly relevant to organizations focused on environmental regulation and administrative law, as it alters the oversight and public input process for setting environmental cleanup standards. | MI Rep. Noah Arbit (D-MI-020) | Introduced or Prefiled | Toxic Substances | http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2025-HB-4638 | |

| MI H.B.4742 | The bill adds a new subpart dedicated to 'overburdened communities,' defined as census block groups with low income, high minority populations, limited English proficiency, or tribal lands. For facilities located in or affecting these communities, applicants must prepare an Environmental Justice Impact Assessment, hold a public hearing with extensive notice and participation requirements, and submit all related materials to the Department and local governments. | MI Rep.

| MI H.B.4821 | Establishes new requirements for municipalities that impose drainage fees generating more than $10 million annually or exceeding 5% of their general fund budget. Under this bill, such municipalities must create and maintain a separate, segregated account for all drainage fee revenues, ensuring these funds are not commingled with the general fund or other revenue sources. Expenditures from this account are restricted to costs directly related to stormwater or drainage services, with explicit definitions provided for eligible and ineligible expenses. | MI Rep.

| MI H.B.4940 | Expands eligibility for underground storage tank cleanup and reimbursement programs to include federally recognized tribes, allowing their USTs to qualify for funding if they meet federal requirements, and introduces the term 'claimant' to encompass those to whom approved claims are assigned or transferred. The bill also modifies the structure and limits of claims, including a $1,000,000 claim limit per release (minus deductibles), a $2,000,000 claim period aggregate limit per claimant or affiliate, and a tiered deductible system ($2,000 for the first claim, $10,000 for the second, and $20,000 for subsequent claims at a facility). | MI Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-MI-017) | Out of Committee | Toxic Substances | http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2025-HB-4940 | |
| MI H.B.5082 | The bill requires the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to conduct preliminary inventories of all wetlands in Michigan on a county-by-county basis and file these inventories with local offices. Property owners or lessees may request a wetland assessment for their parcel, and the department must complete the assessment within 60 days of the request, a change from the previous requirement of a 'reasonable time.' The assessment report must detail the location of wetlands, describe activities requiring permits, and clarify the department's jurisdiction, with determinations binding for three years. The bill also clarifies the criteria for determining whether a wetland is contiguous to major water bodies and excludes agricultural drains and certain drainage structures from being classified as wetlands. | MI Rep. Tom Kunse (R-MI-100) | Out of Committee | Coastal Resiliency | http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2025-HB-5082 | |

It modifies the structure and allowable uses of the Refined Petroleum Fund and the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund, specifying annual allocations (e.g., up to $5 million for petroleum product inspection programs and $3 million for fire services), and introduces new requirements for claim submission, deductible amounts, and reimbursement processes, including stricter timelines (such as a 24-month deadline for filing claims after a confirmed release and a 180-day window for legacy release program invoices following the 2025 amendment). | MI Rep.

It increases fees for hazardous waste disposal and solidification facilities, effective January 1, 2026, and introduces a mechanism for adjusting these fees every five years based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill also mandates the preparation of a comprehensive state hazardous and LARM waste management plan every five years, with specific criteria for siting hazardous waste facilities. Additionally, it imposes a moratorium on new multisource commercial hazardous waste facilities until the updated waste management plan is adopted. The bill outlines financial responsibility requirements for operators of Class I and Class III wells, including surety bonds and environmental pollution insurance. It also establishes several funds for managing the collected fees and surcharges, such as the Cleanup and Redevelopment Fund and the Community Surcharge Reimbursement Fund. The bill repeals certain sections of the existing act and sets an effective date for some provisions as March 1, 2026. | MI Sen.

| MI S.B.0385 | Adds a new exclusion, specifying that cleanup criteria and target detection limits developed by the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy under Part 201 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (1994 PA 451, MCL 324.20101 to 324.20142) are not considered 'rules' under the Act. This change means that such criteria and limits can be established or modified without undergoing the formal rulemaking process typically required for agency regulations, potentially expediting environmental response actions. The bill also maintains existing exclusions for various agency actions, such as certain health and welfare policies, contract provisions, and standards set by other commissions. . This legislative change is particularly relevant to organizations focused on environmental policy and regulatory processes, as it streamlines the implementation of environmental cleanup standards, aligning with efforts to enhance environmental protection efficiency. | MI Sen.

| MI S.B.0386 | Clarifies and expands liability for parties responsible for hazardous substance releases, including owners, operators, and others involved in the handling, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials, while also specifying exemptions for certain parties such as government entities, residential property owners, and those with limited or involuntary involvement. Notably, the bill introduces a new cause of action for individuals exposed to hazardous substances who do not yet have a present injury or disease, allowing them to seek court-ordered medical monitoring if specific criteria are met, such as increased risk of serious disease and the necessity of specialized medical procedures. The bill stipulates that awards for medical monitoring must be paid into a court-supervised program managed by qualified health professionals, and it allows for the recovery of attorney fees and litigation costs. The new section also permits class actions and extends eligibility to individuals exposed in utero. The bill makes clear that this medical monitoring remedy is exclusive for those without present injury but does not preclude other legal remedies for manifest diseases. Additionally, the bill updates the statute of limitations for certain actions but exempts medical monitoring claims from these limitations. These changes align with the organization's mission to protect public health and the environment by enhancing legal recourse for those exposed to hazardous substances and clarifying liability and procedural requirements for responsible parties. | MI Sen.

| MI S.B.0392 | Strengthens requirements for cleanup to meet land use-specific criteria and restore aquifers to state drinking water standards where technically practical, and mandates that remedial actions prevent further spread of contamination. The bill updates the process for establishing and revising generic and site-specific cleanup criteria, requiring the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to use the most current scientific data, publish criteria and supporting data online, and provide public notice and comment periods for revisions. It also clarifies the use of land and resource use restrictions, requiring department approval in most cases and setting detailed standards for restrictive covenants to ensure long-term enforceability and transparency. The legislation introduces more robust procedures for addressing groundwater contamination that vents to surface water, including the use of alternative monitoring points, ecological and modeling demonstrations, and technical infeasibility waivers. | MI Sen.

| MI S.B.0416 | Expands the types of containers and beverages covered, clarifying definitions, and establishing new funds and administrative structures to support recycling, enforcement, and environmental protection. The bill broadens the definition of 'beverage' to include noncarbonated drinks and hard cider, and refines which containers are subject to deposit, excluding certain cartons, pouches, and large juice containers. It mandates that dealers accept returnable containers for refund regardless of where they were purchased, and allows for the establishment of regional redemption centers. The legislation creates several new funds, including the Beverage Container Handling Fund, Bottle Bill Enforcement Fund, Resource Recovery Fund, and Water Security Fund, each with specified allocations and purposes such as system improvement grants, enforcement, pollution prevention, and water affordability programs. The bill also modifies the distribution of unredeemed deposit funds, directing portions to environmental cleanup, water security, manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and redemption centers. It sets reporting requirements for state agencies and establishes annual public reporting on system performance, with an annual target return rate of 85%. The bill requires approval by Michigan voters in the November 2026 general election and, if passed, will take effect six months after certification of the vote. These changes align with environmental and public health goals by strengthening recycling infrastructure, supporting pollution prevention, and addressing water affordability and security. | MI Sen.

For facilities seeking permits in these communities, applicants must prepare an Environmental Justice Impact Assessment, hold a public hearing with extensive notice and participation requirements, and submit all related materials to the Department and local governments. The Department is required to consider cumulative environmental and public health stressors and must deny permits if approval would be discriminatory, unless there is a compelling public interest and no less discriminatory alternative exists. In such cases, the Department must impose conditions to mitigate harm and promote equity. | MI Sen.

| PA H.B.659 | Establishes a comprehensive framework for managing water resources in Pennsylvania, with a focus on storm water and integrated water resources management. It aims to address current inadequacies in storm water management and integrate various programs to protect public health, safety, and the environment. Counties are mandated to develop comprehensive storm water management plans based on watershed boundaries, incorporating public participation and requiring updates every five years. The legislation allows for the creation of water resources management authorities to oversee plan implementation and introduces the Integrated Water Resources Management Account to fund these initiatives, with specific allocations for grants and reimbursements to counties and municipalities. It modifies existing laws, such as the Storm Water Management Act, by adding requirements for integrated planning and management of water resources. The legislation sets a timeline for counties to prepare or update their storm water management plans within five years of the act's effective date, with possible extensions if funding is unavailable. Municipalities must adopt ordinances consistent with these plans within 18 months of their approval. The Department of Environmental Protection is tasked with coordinating water resource management, developing guidelines, and approving or disapproving plans. The legislation includes mechanisms for enforcement and compliance, such as administrative remedies and actions in mandamus to compel counties and municipalities to fulfill their obligations. Key objectives include preventing increased flood stages in streams, controlling storm water runoff, improving groundwater recharge, and supporting sustainable water management. The legislation also establishes water resources management corridors to protect critical areas and requires counties and municipalities to adopt or amend ordinances to regulate development in line with approved plans. Infrastructure improvements are to be implemented by municipalities or counties, with provisions for county assumption of responsibilities if requested by municipalities. The legislation provides for the creation or expansion of water resources management authorities, which can assume responsibility for storm water and integrated water resources management. Funding mechanisms include grants covering up to 75% of allowable costs, with provisions for additional state support if necessary. The act also outlines procedures for entry upon land for surveys and inspections, preservation of existing rights and remedies, and civil remedies for violations. The legislation repeals certain sections of the Storm Water Management Act and takes effect 60 days after enactment. | PA Rep.

| WI S.B.128 | Mandates the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to create a municipal PFAS grant program, providing financial assistance for PFAS testing and remediation efforts across municipal water systems, nonmunicipal entities, and privately owned landfills. Grants are also available for municipalities to manage PFAS contamination in biosolids and leachate, with a stipulation for matching funds in certain cases. An innocent landowner grant program is introduced, offering financial relief to entities inadvertently affected by PFAS contamination, capped at $250,000 per eligible recipient, with a potential requirement for a 5% matching fund. The legislation modifies existing statutes, such as the spills law, to exempt certain grant-eligible entities from liability, provided they allow DNR to remediate the land. It restricts DNR from impeding construction projects due to PFAS unless specific risks are identified. The bill requires DNR to enhance PFAS testing activities, including a pilot project for portable water treatment systems and increased support for testing laboratories. It mandates studies on PFAS treatment and disposal methods, migration patterns into the Bay of Green Bay, the Wisconsin River, and the Mississippi River, and the creation of a comprehensive, interactive PFAS data map. The University of Wisconsin-Madison division of extension is tasked with providing the map and reports on these studies to relevant committees within two years. The DNR must report its expenditures and progress biannually for three years. The legislation amends the Clean Water Fund Program and Safe Drinking Water Loan Program to prioritize projects addressing PFAS contamination and allows public utilities to use revenue for PFAS source reduction measures. Additionally, the DNR is required to survey fire departments regarding PFAS-containing firefighting foam and facilitate its collection. The bill includes provisions for well compensation grants and establishes timelines for DNR's increased testing activities during the 2025-27 fiscal biennium. The act takes effect the day after publication, with specific provisions for administrative rules. | WI Sen. Steve Nass (R-WI-011), WI Sen. Mary Felzkowski (R-WI-012), WI Sen.
