MI HB5374

Expands Michigan's prevailing wage requirements to cover broadband service projects, including new construction, improvement, maintenance, expansion, alteration, or demolition of broadband lines, cables, and hardware

Defines "broadband service" as any service (voice, video, data) providing transmission capacity exceeding 200 kilobits per second in at least one direction, regardless of technology used (wireless, copper, fiber optic, coaxial)

Exempts broadband projects that receive federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund under the American Rescue Plan Act

Adds "broadband developer" as a new category of private contracting agent subject to prevailing wage requirements when performing broadband service projects

Classifies broadband service projects as "state projects" under the prevailing wage law, alongside existing categories of public construction projects and energy facility projects
