effective
date of this act that has not previously obtained
authorization
or a permit under section 251 of the Michigan
telecommunications
act, 1991 PA 179, MCL 484.2251, shall submit an
application
for a permit to each municipality in which the provider
has
facilities located in a public right-of-way. A provider
submitting
