(1) Except as otherwise provided in this part, information obtained by the commission under this part is a public record under the freedom of information act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 to 15.246. (2) An applicant may designate information received from a third party that the applicant submits to the commission in an application for a certificate, or in other documents required by the commission for the purposes of certification, as only for the confidential use of the commission. The commission shall notify the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 electric provider or IPP of a request for public records under section 5 of the freedom of information act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.235, if the scope of the request includes information designated as confidential. If the electric provider or IPP, within 10 days after the receipt of the notice, demonstrates to the satisfaction of the commission that the information designated as confidential is a trade secret or secret process or is production, commercial, or financial information the disclosure of which would jeopardize the competitive position of the electric provider or IPP or the person from whom the information was obtained, the commission shall not grant the request for the information. If the commission decides to grant a request, the commission shall not release the information requested until 3 days have elapsed after notice of the decision is provided to the electric provider or IPP. (3) If any person uses information described in subsection (1) to forecast electrical demand, the person shall structure the forecast so the person to whom the information pertains is not identified unless that person waives confidentiality. (4) The commission shall issue orders necessary to protect the information in an application for a certificate, or in other documents required by the commission for the purposes of certification, if the commission reasonably finds the information to be confidential. Information that is confidential under a protective order is exempted from disclosure under the freedom of information act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 to 15.246. Sec. 229. A commission order relating to a certificate or other matter provided for under this part is subject to review in the same manner as provided in section 6 of 1909 PA 300, MCL 462.26. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Sec. 230. (1) In administering this part, the commission has only those powers and duties granted to the commission under this part. (2) The commission may consolidate proceedings under this part with contract approval or other certificate of need cases relating to the same energy facility. (3) This part shall control in any conflict between this part and any other law of this state. However, the electric transmission line certification act, 1995 PA 30, MCL 460.561 to 460.575, controls in any conflict with this part. Sec. 231. (1) A local ordinance shall not prohibit or regulate testing activities undertaken by an electric provider or independent power producer for purposes of determining the suitability of a site for the placement of an energy facility. (2) If a certificate is issued for an energy facility under this part, a zoning ordinance or limitation imposed after the electric provider or IPP submitted the application for the certificate to the commission shall not be construed to limit or impair the construction, operation, or maintenance of the energy facility. (3) If a certificate is issued, the certificate and this part preempt a local policy, practice, regulation, rule, or other ordinance that prohibits, regulates, or imposes additional or more restrictive dimensional and use limitations or requirements on the construction, operation, use, dimensions, replacement, or maintenance of an energy facility. (4) Except as provided in this section, this part does not exempt an electric provider or IPP to whom a certificate is issued from obtaining any other permit, license, or permission to engage 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 in the construction or operation of an energy facility that is required by any other law of this state, any rule promulgated under a law of this state, or a local ordinance. Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 1 year after the date it is enacted into law. Enacting section 2. This amendatory act does not take effect unless Senate Bill No. 587 of the 102nd Legislature is enacted into law.
