2016 House Bill 5258

Restrict oil and gas drilling in large counties

Introduced in the House

Jan. 26, 2016

Introduced by Rep. Jeremy Moss (D-35)

To prohibit oil and gas wells within 2,000 feet of a residential building in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties, unless they hold a hearing in the community. The bill also appears to give local governments to power to enact zoning and other regulations that would ban wells.
