MI SB1220

Requires claimants to notify governmental agencies in writing within 45 days of discovering property damage or physical injury to pursue compensation claims under section 17.

Mandates that agencies receiving initial oral or written notification provide claimants with written information about notice requirements, the designated recipient's name and address, and required notice content (name, address, phone number, property address, date of discovery, and brief claim description).

Allows claimants to proceed with civil action despite incomplete notice if they notified the agency during the 45-day period and the agency failed to provide required written information.

Requires governmental agencies to schedule a hearing before a licensed professional engineer hearing officer within 30 days if parties cannot agree on compensation within 45 days of notice, with the officer determining property damages and economic damages for personal injury (excluding noneconomic damages).

Makes the hearing process and procedures the sole exclusive remedy for property damage and economic damages claims; claimants may still pursue noneconomic damages in civil court.
