484.3313 Voluntary franchise agreement.

Sec. 13.

    This act does not prohibit a local unit of government and a video service provider from entering into a voluntary franchise agreement that includes terms and conditions different than those required under this act, including, but not limited to, a reduction in the franchise fee in return for the video service provider making available to the franchising entity services, equipment, capabilities, or other valuable consideration. This section does not apply unless for each provider servicing the franchise entity it is technically feasible and commercially practicable to comply with similar terms and conditions in the franchise agreement and it is offered to the other provider.
