Electric Utility Engineering Audits (HB6093)

HB6093 would amend Sec. 10p of 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.10p) and add a new Sec. 6y to require engineering audits of electric utilities. The bill layers an additional technical-oversight mechanism onto the existing Michigan Public Service Commission regulatory framework, aimed at verifying utility engineering practices and infrastructure decisions. Status: introduced.
