MI HB6191

Requires the department to obtain a warrant before entering land to address coal mining emergencies, establishing warrant requirement as a prerequisite for emergency restoration and reclamation actions.

Changes the deposit destination for coal mining inspection and reclamation fees from the state abandoned mine reclamation fund to the general fund.

Repeals section 63510 creating the state abandoned mine reclamation fund, eliminating the dedicated fund for coal mine reclamation purposes.

Clarifies that department entry onto land to address mining emergencies constitutes a police power exercise, and money expended and benefits accruing to the land reduce or offset damages claims by property owners.

Maintains the inspection and reclamation fee structure at no more than 25 cents per ton of coal mined, with quarterly operator reporting requirements based on tons mined.
