SB 275
Michigan bill prohibits local governments from banning natural gas use or infrastructure installation, preempting municipal authority over energy policy.
SB 275 would prohibit local units of government in Michigan from banning the use of natural gas or preventing the installation of natural gas infrastructure within their jurisdictions. The bill creates a new statutory framework that preempts municipal authority over natural gas policy at the local level.
This bill directly affects the ability of cities and counties to set their own energy policies and pursue climate goals through natural gas restrictions. It also impacts utility companies' operational flexibility and consumers' energy choices, as local governments currently have varying degrees of authority to regulate or phase out natural gas use in buildings.
