92 they can expand the production and sales of plant
93 material in competition with private industry. This
94 “conservation species” list is reviewed annually by an
95 advisory panel, as required by law. We are concerned
96 about the number of recent additions to the approved
97 propagation list. Conservation districts should be
98 encouraged to purchase their plant materials from
99 Michigan private industry suppliers whenever
100 possible. 

We believe in the American free market system in which property is privately owned, managed, and operated for profit and individual satisfaction. Any erosion of that right weakens all other rights guaranteed to individuals by the Constitution. We support legislation that would require state and local agencies to evaluate the impact of proposed rules and regulations on private property rights and compensate the landowner for any private property rights taken.
We oppose any legislation that would allow public access to or through private property without permission of the property owner or owner’s authorized agent.
We believe the original description of a parcel should stand and the moving of a boundary through re- measurement shall not automatically be considered conclusive.
We support the development of a process that will provide notification to all adjacent landowners when a new land survey is conducted by a registered surveyor.
We believe the Doctrine of Adverse Possession should continue in property line disputes.
We believe when a non-private easement (with the exception of a maintenance easement) is given, the said easement cannot be sold, traded or otherwise transferred without first consent of the current property owner. This should include all past and future transactions. Michigan law should protect the rights of the property owner.
We call for review of all regulations and enforcement policies that encroach on the rights of property owners, including buildings, planted trees and travel ways placed too close to property lines. The presence of other trespassing does not constitute permission to enter private land.
We support legislation that would deny a claim of prescriptive easement based on intentional recreational trespass.
