Right of Publicity (Name, Likeness, Voice & Image Protection)

Current understanding

HB6150 (103rd Legislature, introduced) would create a new Michigan act prohibiting the commercial trade use of an individual’s name, likeness, voice, or image under certain circumstances. This would establish a statutory right-of-publicity framework in Michigan — similar to laws in other states — affecting advertisers, media producers, and businesses that use personal identifiers for commercial purposes.
