SB 1048 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Public utilities: electric utilities; project labor agreements and prevailing wage and fringe benefit rates; require for certain data center contracts. Amends 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.1 - 460.11) by adding sec. 10ii.

This bill requires electric utilities in Michigan to include specific labor conditions in contracts for building or maintaining data centers. Under the new rules, these projects must use registered apprenticeship programs, pay workers at least the prevailing local wage and fringe benefit rates, and utilize project labor agreements or collective bargaining agreements. The legislation defines data centers as facilities housing equipment for data storage and processing and aims to ensure fair labor standards for construction work without speculating on future economic impacts.
