MI HB6199

Requires the director of agriculture to notify the state senate and house of representatives in writing within 24 hours after issuing a notice of dangerous insects or infectious diseases found on property.

Updates language to replace "commissioner of agriculture" with "director of the department of agriculture and rural development" throughout the statute.

Clarifies the director's authority to enter premises, examine plants for destructive insects or diseases, and take necessary steps to exterminate them.

Establishes procedures for owners to appeal inspector findings within 10 days to the director, with the director's decision being final; owners must pay appeal-related expenses if the original inspection findings are upheld.

Maintains compensation procedures for owners whose trees, shrubs, vines, or plants are destroyed to prevent spread of new dangerous plant diseases or insects, with amounts determined by three-party appraisal and paid from the state general fund.
