Abstract
(HB6093 · 103rd Legislature) Public utilities: electric utilities; engineering audits; require. Amends sec. 10p of 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.10p) & adds sec. 6y. Latest action (2026-06-17): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/16/2026
Why this matters
Engineering audits would give the MPSC a new technical lens for evaluating electric utility infrastructure decisions, potentially affecting how utilities justify capital spending and reliability investments passed on to ratepayers. The bill fits a broader 2025-26 pattern of Michigan legislators adding discrete oversight mechanisms — expenditure reporting, competitive bidding, asset-transfer review — onto the existing 1939 PA 3 framework rather than restructuring utility regulation wholesale.
