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 community water supplies that offer retail water service, and clarifies the definition of "Municipality" to encompass various local government entities. Additionally, it modifies the existing definition of "Sewage system" to include a broader range of components related to sewage disposal.

Furthermore, the bill adds a new section (4a) that mandates providers to approve requests from lessees, as defined in the 1972 PA 348, when such requests are made. This provision aims to streamline the process for tenants seeking services related to water and sewage systems. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 253 from the 103rd Legislature.
