Construction Codes In Effect In DeWitt Charter Township

2009 Michigan Uniform Energy Code Rules Now in Effect

In 2002, the Department of Labor & Economic Growth established a committee to review and update Michigan's Uniform Energy Code. After review and promulgation of the Code, the Ingham County Circuit Court issued an injunction to halt the February 28, 2005, effective date of the rules. Therefore, the rules have been pending litigation since that time. On October 24, 2008, this matter was before the court with a decision following to dismiss the complaint and dissolve the injunction; thereby making the rules effective immediately.
