MI SB1181

Changes the water use reporting fee from a flat $200 annual fee to $1.00 per centum cubic foot of water withdrawn annually, with exemptions for farms and withdrawals under 1,500,000 gallons per year.

Adds a new requirement that permit holders proposing to increase withdrawal capacity beyond their most recent reported amount must absorb all costs of necessary infrastructure improvements and cannot pass these costs to the public.

Establishes a 2,000,000 gallon-per-day cap on water withdrawals under the permit conditions, with exceptions for specific withdrawal types and circumstances.

Modifies permit application procedures to reference updated information requirements in section 32706c(4) instead of 32706c(1)(a)-(e) and establishes a $2,000 application fee.

Makes minor technical changes throughout, including replacing "who" with "that," "shall" with "must," and "upon" with "on" for grammatical consistency.
