Michigan Votes Forum

Introduced in the Senate on March 22, 2005, to expand the scope of the state water pollution law by defining ballast water discharged from ocean-going ships that contains harmful invasive or nuisance species as “pollution” subject to regulation by the state. Also, to authorize the establishment of a multi-state Great Lakes Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Coalition. The bill would require ocean ships stopping in Michigan ports to get a permit. (Michigan has no authority if a ship does not enter a port here.) Ships would be required to demonstrate that they would use environmentally sound technology and methods to prevent the discharge of aquatic nuisance species

The vote was 38 in favor, 0 opposed and 0 not voting

(Senate Roll Call 89 at Senate Journal 36)

This legislation is one of the most positive moves in supporting the Clean Water Act I've ever read. Thank you so much for bringing this issue to the table. Our lakes are the most valuable resource we have and they are in trouble. From zebra mussels right up to the impending doom of the Asian Carp steadily making their way toward our lakes, we NEED this piece of legislation to SHOUT !!! Anything our state can do to clearly define the problem of invasive species in the Great Lakes and enforce laws to ensure protection of our water is a significant step toward preserving this natural resource.

I hope there is enough teeth in this legislation. Jail the offending captians and crew and don't let them hide behind a corporate umbrella of immunity

I am glad that the  bill  requires ocean ships stopping in Michigan ports to get a permit and treat ballast water to kill invasive species.  There needs to be more bills to stop water pollution.  I love that ships need to demonstrate that they are getting rid of the aquatic nusiance species.

Talk about giving the keys to the hen house away.  Based on the union inspired quote above, it's safe to say jfredmuggins is a school union member and is biased by selective self interest.

To hit your objectives in this issue you've got written about, one must really devote hard work into it. I made up my mind on doing a research upon it in my spare time and you also wouldn't believe in the possibilities that opened up business wise. This is a good discipline and can lead to many exciting options. Thanks for sharing your secrets.

Any law, which supports, Gia, our earth through, enforcing others to take caution against pollution, is something everyone should go out of their way to support.
