Allows commissioners or authorized agents to enter land and destroy weeds at the owner's expense, with townships, cities, or villages placing a lien on the property enforceable like construction liens.

Permits villages, cities, or townships to cut weeds on subdivided lots and improved streets by ordinance after 10 days' notice, using mechanical equipment that will not damage property.

Exempts fields with small grain crops (wheat, oats, barley, rye) and transfers responsibility to county boards for easements, abandoned subdivisions, and property with unclear ownership; requires county boards to notify the Department of Natural Resources and Environment regarding state land.
