Public utilities: electric utilities; electronic transmission infrastructure; allow to use existing rights-of-way. Amends sec. 13 of 1925 PA 368 (MCL 247.183) & adds sec. 13a.

This bill allows electric utilities and other infrastructure providers to build and maintain electronic transmission lines within existing highway rights-of-way without needing separate consent from local governments. It establishes a fee structure for using these spaces, caps permit fees at $1,000 per mile, and requires that any installed lines be underground to avoid increasing road maintenance costs. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the state transportation department share future road plans with utility developers and provide a five-year notice before requiring the relocation of high-voltage transmission lines.
