Communications: video services; requirements for video services reports; modify. Amends sec. 12 of 2006 PA 480 (MCL 484.3312).

HB 5124 modifies Michigan's Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act to clarify reporting requirements for video service providers. It requires providers to submit specific information (name, service description, contact details) to the commission within 60 days of the law's effective date or 30 days after starting service in Michigan, using data they already collect. The bill also mandates that providers notify the commission 30 days in advance of name changes, closures, or mergers. Additionally, the commission must file an annual report by April 1st to the governor and legislature, detailing video service competition status and suggesting legislative changes. These provisions directly affect all video service providers operating in Michigan.
