Summary
House Bill 6135 of the 2025-2026 Michigan session would direct the Public Service Commission to set large-load commercial electric rates for data centers with long contract terms, minimum bills, exit fees and collateral, and to ensure that costs caused by a data center are paid by that data center rather than existing utility customers. It is tie-barred to other data center bills. The bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Government Operations on 25 June 2026. It is a proposal, not enacted law and not a tariff.
What this does not establish
- This is a bill, not a Commission order or tariff; existing Commission large-load decisions are separate records.
- The 180-day period would run from the bill's effective date if enacted; no date is stored.
- The bill takes effect only if six tie-barred bills (or Senate counterparts) are enacted. Only the introduced text was opened.
Unresolved questions
None recorded.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
