MI HB5123

Modifies the definition of "video service" in the Uniform Video Services Local Franchise Act to explicitly exclude streaming content accessed via the internet from franchise requirements

Clarifies that video programming accessed through internet services, including streaming content, is not subject to local video franchise regulations

Updates terminology throughout the act, including changing "electronic mail" to "email" and clarifying references to the Michigan Public Service Commission (created under 1939 PA 3)

Specifies that the definition changes do not affect existing obligations of video service providers who already hold uniform video local franchise agreements to pay compensation for public right-of-way use

Updates the definition of "incumbent video provider" to reference the specific effective date of January 1, 2007 rather than "the effective date of this act"
