HB4965 Has Been Defeated
HB4965 has been halted. This bill would have given video streaming services exemptions to the provisions clearly defined in Public Act 480 which regulated Franchise and PEG right of way fees for the state of Michigan.
​
MICMA, with support from MML, MTA, PROTEC, and numerous cities, townships, and Michigan residents, were able to educate our elected official on the damage HB4965 would have done to local Cable TV Franchise and PEG revenue if enacted. The work continues to find a solution to this declining, but needed revenue.
