A bill to amend 1923 PA 238, entitled “An act authorizing the formation of corporations for the purpose of generating, manufacturing, producing, gathering, storing, transmitting, distributing, transforming, selling and supplying electric energy or gas, either artificial or natural, or both electric energy and gas, to the public generally, or to public utilities or natural gas companies, and providing for and giving to such corporations and also to corporations heretofore lawfully organized, among other things, for such purposes; to corporations heretofore lawfully organized, or that may hereafter be lawfully organized and duly authorized to carry on the electric or gas business as a public utility in the state of Michigan; and to foreign corporations heretofore lawfully organized or that may hereafter be lawfully organized, among other things, for such purposes, and duly authorized to carry on business in the state of Michigan, the right to condemn private property for the uses provided for herein,” by amending section 5 (MCL 486.255), as added by 2004 PA 197.
House Bills 5538-5540 collectively revise Michigan’s electric transmission framework by conditionally repealing existing planning requirements, clarifying the authority and limits of transmission companies, and updating certification definitions and regulatory language, all contingent on the enactment of related legislation.
