Public utilities: electric utilities; guidelines for applications for certificates of public convenience and necessity; provide for. Amends sec. 6 of 1995 PA 30 (MCL 460.566).

Senate Bill 932 requires electric utilities and transmission companies in Michigan to hold public meetings in every municipality through which a proposed major transmission line would pass before applying for a certificate to build it. The bill mandates that companies provide detailed written notice to affected landowners and municipalities at least 15 days in advance, including maps of proposed routes and contact information for a dedicated representative. Additionally, the legislation requires utilities to make meeting materials available online, allow landowners to submit comments and route suggestions via a website, and document how they consider and respond to any substantive landowner requests.
