Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1939 PA 178, entitled"An act to provide for the collection of water or sewage system rates, assessments, charges, or rentals; and to provide a lien for water or sewage system services furnished by municipalities as defined by this act,"by amending section 1 (MCL 123.161), as amended by 1981 PA 132, and by adding section 4a.
AI Summary
This bill amends an existing Michigan law regarding water and sewage system services by adding a new definition for "provider" (a community water supply that provides retail water service) and establishing a requirement for water providers to approve requests from lessees (tenants) to transfer utility services. Specifically, if a lessee makes a request under a specific section of Michigan law (1972 PA 348), the water provider must approve the transfer. The bill is tie-barred with Senate Bill 253, meaning it will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law. The changes aim to clarify definitions related to municipal water and sewage systems and provide a standardized process for tenants to request utility service transfers, potentially making it easier for renters to establish or change utility services in their name.
