Introduced Text

Michigan SB0254 amends public utility law to require approval of tenant requests for utility transfers.

Michigan SB0254 amends the public utilities code to mandate that a provider must approve a tenant's request to transfer utility services. This applies to sewage systems, including sanitary and combined sanitary and storm sewers, as well as plants and properties used in sewage or industrial waste collection, treatment, or disposal. The bill defines "provider" as a community water supply that offers retail water service in Michigan, whether publicly or privately owned. The amendment takes effect only if Senate Bill No. 253 of the 103rd Legislature is enacted into law.
