MI HB5090

Establishes the "Water Shutoff Protection Act" to regulate residential water service shutoffs by public and private water providers in Michigan.

Requires providers to contact customers at least 4 times using 2 or more methods (door notice, personal visit, phone call, text message, or mail) 60-90 days before shutoff, and prohibits shutoffs on days when provider services are unavailable or between 3 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Prohibits shutoffs for critical care customers with medical documentation, customers in compliance with payment plans or low-income affordability programs, and customers with disputed bills; requires 120-day delinquency period before shutoff for certain customers.

Establishes "eligible customers" (those earning up to 200% of federal poverty guidelines or receiving public assistance) who can delay shutoff by paying $10 monthly and applying for a low-income water residential affordability program within 10 business days.

Allows civil actions by the attorney general or customers to enforce the act with damages, injunctive relief, and attorney fees; requires providers to offer language access to limited English proficiency customers; takes effect 1 year after enactment if companion bills HB 5088 and HB 5089 also pass.
