AI Summary
This bill requires that before the Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities, can approve any contract, tariff, discount, or rate for an electric utility dealing with a qualified data center, the entities performing construction or maintenance work on the project must enter into a project labor agreement or operate under a collective bargaining agreement. A "data center" is defined as a facility in Michigan designed to house data processing equipment, and a "project labor agreement" is a pre-hire agreement with labor organizations that sets employment terms for a specific construction project, ensuring all contractors can compete, preventing work stoppages, and establishing procedures for resolving labor disputes. This provision is part of a larger legislative effort, as indicated by the "TIE BAR" notation, meaning this bill's effectiveness is contingent on the passage of several other related bills.
