MI HB6392

Revises mine inspector duties under 1911 PA 163 by clarifying language regarding inspection frequency, dangerous conditions, and safety requirements at mining operations.

Changes notice requirements for owners of idle or abandoned mines: beginning January 1, 2022, notice to non-resident owners must be posted per the local government public notice act instead of publication in newspapers and registered mail.

Requires mine inspectors to provide written accounting of expenses incurred when erecting fences or railings around abandoned mine shafts and open pits, with expenses audited by county commissioners and paid from county general funds.

Modernizes archaic statutory language throughout the section by replacing phrases like "shall" with "must" and clarifying inspector authority to order safety improvements.

Takes effect only upon enactment of HB 6440 (tie-barred provision).
