Bill > SB0646

This bill amends the Michigan Infrastructure Council Act to update the responsibilities and strategic planning requirements for the Michigan Infrastructure Council. The bill modifies the council's existing duties to develop annual multiyear programs, work plans, budgets, and funding recommendations for asset management across various infrastructure sectors. Key changes include refining the timeline for developing a statewide integrated asset management system, expanding research and advisory responsibilities to cover topics like funding models, technology advancements, and cost efficiencies, and establishing more specific requirements for strategic planning. The bill introduces a requirement to develop a 30-year integrated infrastructure strategy updated every 5 years, create a public performance dashboard, and implement predictive analytics for asset condition forecasting. Additionally, the bill includes specific provisions restricting the council from proposing government-owned broadband networks and limiting any broadband network subsidies to unserved areas through a competitive, technology-neutral bidding process. The bill is tied to the passage of Senate Bill 631 and aims to improve infrastructure planning, coordination, and management across Michigan's asset classes and regions.
