2003 House Bill 4206 ↩

House Roll Call 19: Passed

To subject the water and sewer customer rate-setting decisions of the Detroit water and sewer system to a five-member oversight body similar to the state Public Service Commission (which oversees price controls on utility rates). The new commission would have members appointed by the City of Detroit, and by Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Genesee Counties. The new commission could approve or reject proposed rates, and provide other oversight functions. This bill creates the new commission, and Senate Bill 195 prescribes its precise authority.
