Introduced by Rep. Andy Meisner (D) on October 26, 2005, to require a state permit for withdrawals of tributary surface water, spring water, or groundwater if the withdrawal affects the natural flow of water into an inland lake or stream according to criteria that would not be set in statute, but instead would be set by the Department of Environmental Quality. The bill would impose extensive permit procedures and give extensive authority to the department over whether to issue a permit and what conditions to place on it. This is part of a groundwater regulation package comprised of House Bills 5366 to 5373.
- Referred to the House Natural Resources, Great Lakes, Land Use, and Environment Committee on October 26, 2005.

So are legislators working with all the other Great Lakes states and Canada on these bills. Are we sharing our ideas and stealing their ideas? Hope so.
