Bill > SB0720

This bill amends the Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act by modifying the Michigan Public Service Commission's reporting requirements and information collection process for video service providers. The bill changes the annual report deadline from February to April and explicitly clarifies that the commission cannot regulate video service providers as public utilities. The legislation introduces new requirements for video service providers, mandating they submit detailed information to the commission within 60 days of becoming operational or offering services in the state, including their name, service description, contact information, and registered agent details. Additionally, providers must now proactively notify the commission at least 30 days in advance of any significant changes such as name changes, business closures, or mergers. The bill limits the information providers must submit to data they would normally generate or collect in their regular business operations, ensuring the reporting burden remains reasonable while improving the state's ability to track and understand the video services market.
