I presume that is just a Michigan state regulation, as opposed to any adjoining states.  With all the rocks that the glaciers scraped out of the Great Lakes, I wouldn't think it's going to hurt anything, for rockhounds to remove a few more!  [Trying to be understanding, I suppose there needs to be some kind of law, to control someone from conducting a quarrying operation in lake, or removing prominent rock landmarks from the lake to become decorative rocks in their yard or hotel or casino...]
