The three panels would include members from different industries and business sectors in the state.
Republicans say this will give citizens more of a say in the state's environmental policy.
Democrats like Yousef Rabhi say the bills would give industry too much say.
Rabhi says when the DEQ worked with a corporation to set new standards for dioxane levels in his district a few years ago, families ended up drinking poisoned water.
He worries the panels will just make this kind of thing happen more often.
Governor Snyder now has the final say on the bills.
Rabhi and other Democrats are hoping he'll veto them.
