This bill proposes the repeal of 1913 PA 206, which currently designates telephone lines and telephone companies in Michigan as common carriers and outlines regulations for the telephone business. The existing law confers specific powers, duties, and responsibilities to the public service commission, and includes provisions for the consolidation of telephone lines and companies, as well as penalties for violations of the act.

The bill includes an insertion stating, "THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT," and specifies that the repeal of 1913 PA 206, MCL 484.125, will take effect only if Senate Bill No. 351 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law. This indicates a conditional approach to the repeal, linking it to the passage of another legislative measure.
