HB 5847 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public utilities: electric utilities; cyber-physical security and operational technology protections for electric utility facilities and natural gas utilities; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.1 - 460.11) by adding 10ii.

This bill requires electric and natural gas utilities in Michigan to prove they have security measures in place to protect critical infrastructure from cyber and physical threats. Utilities must also maintain a risk-based program to identify and mitigate these risks. If approved by the state commission, utilities can pass the cost of these enhanced security investments onto retail customers through a specific fee. The bill also mandates that sensitive information regarding security vulnerabilities and protective systems remain confidential and exempt from public disclosure.
