Summary
The bill adds a new section to Michigan’s public utilities act that forces the utility commission to review any contract giving a large‑load data center rates or terms that differ from standard tariffs. The review must follow the contested‑case procedures of the Administrative Procedures Act and cannot be done ex parte. It only changes the process, not the rates themselves.
