Michigan HB5171 prohibits water authorities from acquiring liens on residential properties for water, sewage, or stormwater services.

Michigan HB5171, known as the "household water lien prohibition act," prohibits water authorities from placing liens on residential properties for water, sewage, or stormwater services. It dissolves any existing liens created under the repealed 1939 PA 178. The act defines "water authority" as entities providing these services and establishes rates and fees. It also repeals the previous law, 1939 PA 178, which allowed such liens.
