House Bill 4205 would make it harder to pass a regulation in Michigan that is stricter than a federally mandated standard. This means if a federal rule isn’t providing the protection we want here in Michigan, we may not be able to address that with improved state regulation.

A bill now under consideration in Lansing, House Bill 4205, could prohibit Michigan from adopting any rule more stringent than the federal standard. This would be terrible for protecting Michigan's water resources.
