HJR Q Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public utilities: public service commission; election of members to the Michigan public service commission; provide for. Amends the state constitution by adding sec. 6a to art. IV.

This bill proposes amending the Michigan state constitution to replace the currently appointed Public Service Commission with a nonpartisan, elected commission. The new commission would begin operating on January 1, 2029, and would have the same powers and jurisdiction as the existing body. Members would be nominated by political party conventions and must meet eligibility requirements including U.S. citizenship, state residency, and no financial interest in public utilities. The amendment would be submitted to Michigan voters for approval at the next general election.
