The bill amends the 1939 PA 178, which governs the collection of water and sewage system rates by municipalities. It introduces new definitions, including "Provider," which refers to any community water supply that offers retail water service, and clarifies the term "lessee" in relation to tenant rights under existing law. Additionally, the bill mandates that if a provider receives a request from a lessee, they must approve it, thereby enhancing tenant access to water services.

Furthermore, the bill makes specific deletions and insertions to the existing legal language, such as removing the previous definition of "Sewage system" and updating it to include a broader scope of sewage disposal systems. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 253 from the 103rd Legislature, ensuring that these amendments take effect only if that bill is also enacted into law.
