HB 4087: State finance: other; strategic bitcoin reserve; establish. Amends sec. 351 of 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1351) by adding sec. 351a.

HB 4087 establishes a "strategic bitcoin reserve" by adding Section 351a to Michigan's budget act, allowing the state treasurer to invest up to 10% of funds from the general fund or the countercyclical budget fund into cryptocurrency. The bill requires that any cryptocurrency held must be secured through specific custody methods (like secure custody solutions or qualified custodians) and prohibits loans that increase financial risk. It also mandates that crypto payments received by the state be converted to cash and deposited into the general fund, with designated funds reimbursed from that fund. This bill directly affects how the state treasurer manages state funds and handles cryptocurrency transactions, with no impact on individual citizens or businesses.

HB 6131: Public utilities: rates; disclosure of uses of increased revenue; require to be provided with rate increase requests. Amends sec. 6a of 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.6a).

HB 6131 amends state law to clarify the process public utilities must follow when requesting rate increases, ensuring they provide the Public Service Commission with specific evidence supporting their financial projections. The bill mandates that utilities coordinate with commission staff to avoid overlapping filings and requires the commission to notify interested parties and hold hearings before approving any changes that raise costs for customers. It also establishes strict timelines for the commission to review applications and grants utilities the ability to implement temporary rate increases while awaiting a final decision, provided they refund any excess amounts collected with interest if the final order is lower. Additionally, the legislation maintains existing protections against automatic fuel cost adjustments without proper notice and hearing, reinforcing the requirement for transparency in utility rate-making.

HB 6139: Construction: permits; acoustic engineering report for data center; require to receive building permit. Amends 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1501 - 125.1531) by adding sec. 10a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6135'26, HB 6140'26, HB 6141'26, HB 6137'26, HB 6138'26, HB 6142'26

This bill requires anyone applying for a building permit for a data center in Michigan to submit a detailed acoustic engineering report. The report must include measurements of current noise levels, projections of construction and operational noise, and a comparison of these levels against local rules or national standards. An enforcing agency cannot issue the permit until this report is provided and shared with the Michigan Public Service Commission and the local government. The law only takes effect if several other related bills are also passed.

HB 6136: Businesses: other; Michigan zoning enabling act; make subject to the data center community benefit agreement act. Amends sec. 205 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3205). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6137'26

This bill amends Michigan's zoning enabling act to explicitly include the Data Center Community Benefit Agreement Act as a law that local zoning ordinances must follow. By adding this requirement to the list of existing state laws, the measure ensures that municipalities cannot create zoning rules that conflict with community benefit agreements for data center projects. The legislation also clarifies that local governments cannot regulate oil and gas drilling operations and establishes specific criteria for evaluating mining activities based on factors like safety, traffic, and public interest. Additionally, it protects renewable energy projects approved after January 1, 2021, from having their special land use approvals revoked once substantial construction or financial investment has begun.

HB 6141: Public utilities: electric utilities; project labor agreements; require for certain data center contracts. Amends 1939 PA 3 (MCL 460.1 - 460.11) by adding sec. 10kk. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6135'26, HB 6140'26, HB 6137'26, HB 6138'26, HB 6142'26, HB 6139'26

This bill requires electric utilities in Michigan to include project labor agreements or collective bargaining agreements for all construction and maintenance work on qualified data centers. A project labor agreement is a pre-hire contract that sets standard employment terms, prevents strikes, and ensures labor-management cooperation for specific construction projects. The measure applies to facilities designed to house data center equipment for storing and processing information. The legislation will only take effect if several related bills are also passed into law.

This bill requires data centers in Michigan to sign legally binding community benefit agreements before they can begin construction or operation. To get approval, data center owners must negotiate deals with local governments and utility providers that address issues like hiring local workers, managing water usage, and funding community projects. The law mandates that these agreements cover at least half of five specific topics, including infrastructure costs and home efficiency improvements, and they must be approved by both the local government and the state public service commission. Without these signed agreements, local authorities cannot issue necessary permits, and the state commission cannot approve the facility's connection to the power grid. This legislation applies to any facility designed to house equipment for storing and processing data within the state.

HB 6140: Public employees and officers: other; nondisclosure agreements related to the construction of data centers; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6135'26, HB 6141'26, HB 6137'26, HB 6138'26, HB 6142'26, HB 6139'26

This bill, known as the Data Center Transparency Act, prohibits elected officials in Michigan from signing nondisclosure agreements that keep data center construction details secret. It specifically applies to contracts between local governments and data center owners where the facility is built in exchange for tax incentives. Under the law, any such agreement attempting to hide information about the project would be considered void and unenforceable, while still allowing the redaction of specific intellectual property details. The measure requires that all related bills be passed for this provision to take effect.

This bill directs the Michigan Attorney General to investigate how prescription insulin drugs are priced and sold within the state to ensure fair consumer protections. To conduct this study, the Attorney General will gather data from insulin manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers, and other relevant parties, while explicitly protecting trade secrets from being disclosed. By October 1, 2027, the Attorney General must publish a public report summarizing pricing practices and offering policy recommendations to prevent overpricing or unfair trade methods. The findings will be shared with state leaders and legislative committees to inform future decisions on health policy and potential law changes.

This bill proposes to increase Michigan's corporate income tax rate from 6.0% to 10.0% starting on October 1, 2026. It also modifies how the tax base is calculated by adding back certain interest and dividend income while removing deductions for oil and gas production expenses. Additionally, the legislation establishes a specific distribution plan for the revenue collected, directing funds to the general fund, housing initiatives, placemaking projects, and a strategic reserve.

This bill requires data center operators in Michigan to submit a decommissioning plan to the Public Service Commission before receiving approval for rates or contracts with electric utilities. The plan must include financial assurance, such as a performance bond or escrow account, to cover the estimated costs of dismantling the facility and restoring the land to its pre-construction condition. The commission will review these financial guarantees every three years to ensure sufficient funds are available for cleanup when the data center is eventually closed. This legislation directly affects businesses operating data centers and the utility companies that serve them. The bill is part of a larger package of related measures that must all be enacted to take effect.

This Michigan bill establishes the Data Center Water Regulation Act, which requires new and existing data centers to either use a closed-loop cooling system that recirculates water or source all water exclusively from municipal systems. Facilities that currently rely on groundwater or surface water must immediately stop operations once the law takes effect, while those violating the rules face civil fines of up to $1 million per day. The legislation also grants the Michigan Public Service Commission the authority to create specific rules for implementation and mandates that collected fines be deposited into the state's general fund.

This bill directs the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to expand managed care options for Medicaid recipients, giving them a choice among contracted health plans while ensuring access to primary care and preventive services. It requires new enrollees to schedule an initial appointment with a primary care provider within 60 days and mandates that the department track plan compliance with this requirement. The legislation also establishes financial incentives for providers and enrollees to encourage the use of high-value services, promote generic prescriptions, and detect fraud, while allowing telemedicine from out-of-state providers. Additionally, the bill outlines a performance bonus system for health plans based on specific health equity and outcome targets, and sets rules for automatically moving individuals out of skilled nursing facilities after 45 days of care.
