Property tax: exemptions; property tax exemption for certain utility personal property; provide for. Amends 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.1 - 211.155) by adding sec. 7yy. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4788'25

HB 4787 would exempt utility companies' replacement electric distribution infrastructure from general property taxes after December 31, 2025, if the infrastructure replaces older systems. To qualify, owners must apply annually by March 1 to local assessors and submit detailed reports by March 31 each year, including location, description of the replaced infrastructure, and safety/reliability improvements. The exemption depends on another bill (HB 4788) being enacted first. This directly affects electric utilities upgrading their aging infrastructure.
