Introduced by Reps. LaFave, Lower and Miller


ENROLLED HOUSE BILL No. 6429

AN ACT to amend 1951 PA 35, entitled “An act to authorize intergovernmental contracts between municipal corporations; to authorize any municipal corporation to contract with any person or any municipal corporation to furnish any lawful municipal service to property outside the corporate limits of the first municipal corporation for a consideration; to prescribe certain penalties; to authorize contracts between municipal corporations and with certain nonprofit public transportation corporations to form group self-insurance pools; and to prescribe conditions for the performance of those contracts,” by amending section 3 (MCL 124.3), as amended by 2000 PA 155.


The People of the State of Michigan enact:


Sec. 3. (1) A municipal corporation may contract for adequate consideration with a person or another municipal corporation to furnish to property outside the municipal corporate limits any lawful municipal service that it is furnishing to property within the municipal corporate limits. A municipal corporation may sell and deliver heat, power, and light in amounts as determined by the governing body of the utility, except for both of the following:

  1. Electric delivery service is limited to the area of any city, village, or township that was contiguous to the municipal corporation as of June 20, 1974, and to the area of any other city, village, or township being served by the municipal utility as of June 20, 1974.

  2. Retail sales of electric generation service are limited to the area of any city, village, or township that was contiguous to the municipal corporation as of June 20, 1974, and to the area of any other city, village, or township being served by the municipal utility as of June 20, 1974.

  1. A municipal corporation shall not render electric delivery service for heat, power, or light outside its corporate limits to a customer that is currently receiving or within the previous 3 years has received the service from another utility unless the serving utility consents in writing.

  2. As used in this section:

  1. “Customer” means only the building or facilities served rather than the individual, association, partnership, corporation, governmental body, or other entity taking service.

  2. “Electric delivery service” has the same meaning as “delivery service” under section 10y of 1939 PA 3, MCL 460.10y.

  3. “Electric generation service” means the sale of electric power and related ancillary services.

  4. “Person” means an individual, partnership, association, governmental entity, or other legal entity.

This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
