MI HR0421

Urges Governor Snyder to convene a governors' commission with the governors of Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania and the premier of Ontario to address Lake Erie's health.

References the August 2 "do-not-drink" advisory issued by Toledo affecting half a million people due to toxins from algal blooms in Lake Erie.

Identifies harmful algal blooms as increasingly common in Lake Erie, caused by increased nutrient inputs, warmer water temperatures, and invasive species.

Directs the commission to determine the cause of recent algae blooms, develop solutions to mitigate future blooms, implement agreed-upon solutions, and monitor lake health.

Requires copies of the resolution be sent to Governor Snyder, the governors of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and the Premier of Ontario.
