SB 719 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Communications: video services; definition of video service; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 2006 PA 480 (MCL 484.3301).

SB 719 amends Michigan's "Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act" to clarify the definition of "video service." It explicitly includes internet protocol television (IPTV) and "open video systems" (OVS) while excluding direct-to-home satellite services, mobile video, and internet streaming content. The bill also updates the definition of "low-income household" to mean a household with annual income below $35,000. This is a definitional amendment affecting how video service providers and local governments interpret the law, not a new policy or fee structure.
