MI HB5082

Requires the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to complete wetland assessments within 60 days of receiving a property owner's request, replacing the previous "reasonable time" standard

Eliminates fees for wetland assessments requested by property owners or lessees, removing the department's authority to charge cost-based fees for these evaluations

Removes the specific fee exemption for assessments under the blueberry production assistance program, as all assessments will now be free

Maintains existing requirements that assessment reports identify wetland locations, describe permit requirements, and provide a 3-year binding determination if an area is found not to be wetland
