MI SR0175

Memorializes Congress to enact legislation requiring disposable wipes (baby wipes, makeup remover wipes, antibacterial wipes, etc.) to be clearly labeled as "non-flushable"

Identifies flushed wipes as a significant problem for municipal sewer systems and treatment facilities, as they do not break down and clog screens, pumps, and other machinery

Notes that removal of wipes from sewer systems is costly, with expenses ultimately passed to consumers through higher utility rates

States that clear labeling of wipes as non-flushable is the most effective method to increase public awareness and prevent improper disposal

Directs transmission of the resolution to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Michigan's congressional delegation
