MI HB4474

Requires the Department of Environmental Quality to hold a public hearing in the city, village, or township where an oil or gas well is located before issuing a permit for hydraulic fracturing, if requested by the local government or any person who may be adversely impacted.

Expands the definition of "permit" under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to clarify that oil and gas well drilling permits are subject to the permit review framework.

Changes processing deadline for oil and gas well drilling permits from 20 days to 60 days if a hearing is required, aligning with standard permit timelines.

Requires the supervisor of wells to provide weekly notice to counties and local municipalities (cities, villages, townships) of all applications for oil and gas drilling permits, including whether hydraulic fracturing will be used.

Adds hydraulic fracturing information to required disclosures on permit applications, including whether the well will be used for hydraulic fracturing operations.
