Environmental Rules Review Committee

• Public Act 267 of 2018 created the Environmental Rules Review Committee (ERRC) to oversee the rulemaking of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. The ERRC is comprised of four ex-officio department heads and 12 members, appointed by the governor, who represent different industries and organizations outlined in statute.
