Evidence log

2026-05-20 — Consumer protection: unfair trade practices; violation under Michigan consumer protection act for certain violations under the shopping reform and modernization act; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0992’26: SB 0993 (tie-barred with SB 0992’26) would amend sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) to treat certain violations of the Shopping Reform and Modernization Act (2011 PA 15) as unfair trade practices under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act — the enforcement hook that ties SB 0992’s dynamic pricing prohibition into MCPA remedies, paralleling the HB5771/HB6099 pairing on the House side. (novelty: 2)
2026-05-20 — Trade: consumer goods and services; use of dynamic pricing in the sale of certain consumer items; prohibit. Amends sec. 2 of 2011 PA 15 (MCL 445.312) & adds sec. 7a. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0993’26: SB0992 (tie-barred with SB 0993’26) would amend sec. 2 of 2011 PA 15 (MCL 445.312) and add new sec. 7a to prohibit dynamic pricing in the sale of certain consumer items — a Senate-side companion to HB6099’s surveillance-pricing amendments to the same Shopping Reform and Modernization Act, broadening the 2026 pricing-regulation package beyond algorithmic/surveillance pricing to dynamic pricing generally. (novelty: 3)
2026-05-20 — Trade: consumer goods and services; use of certain algorithms and protected class data to set prices; prohibit. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) & adds sec. 3j.: SB0991 would amend sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) and add new sec. 3j to prohibit using certain algorithms combined with protected-class data to set prices for consumer goods and services — a Senate-side companion vehicle targeting algorithmic/discriminatory pricing within the same Consumer Protection Act framework as HB5771’s broader surveillance-pricing prohibition. (novelty: 3)
2026-06-17 — Trade: business practices; excessively increased pricing for certain goods and services during a declared state of emergency; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6103’26, HB 6104’26: HB6102 (tie-barred with HB6103’26 and HB6104’26) would create a new Michigan act prohibiting excessively increased pricing for goods and services during declared emergencies — a House-side parallel to the broader 2026 pricing-regulation package that also includes surveillance pricing amendments to the Consumer Protection Act. (novelty: 3)
2026-06-25 — Trade: business practices; excessively increased pricing for energy products and services during a market disruption; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1041’26, SB 1042’26: SB 1043 (tie-barred with SB 1041 and SB 1042) would create a new Michigan act prohibiting excessively increased pricing for energy products and services during a market disruption — a parallel consumer-pricing vehicle in the broader 2026 pricing-regulation package, distinct in that it targets energy markets and uses a ‘market disruption’ rather than declared-emergency trigger. (novelty: 3)
2026-06-25 — Trade: business practices; excessively increased pricing for certain goods and services during a declared state of emergency; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1041’26, SB 1043’26: SB 1042 (tie-barred with SB 1041 and SB 1043) would create a new Michigan act prohibiting excessively increased pricing for goods and services during declared emergencies — a parallel consumer-pricing vehicle distinct from surveillance pricing but part of the broader 2026 pricing-regulation package. (novelty: 2)
2026-06-25 — Housing: public accommodations; excessively increased pricing in hotel and lodging industry during a declared state of emergency; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1042’26, SB 1043’26: cross-connection with hotel-lodging-price-gouging: Both extend Michigan consumer-protection pricing rules — surveillance pricing broadly and hotel/lodging price gouging during emergencies. (novelty: 2)
2026-06-25 — Consumer protection: unfair trade practices; disclosure of automatic renewal provisions in consumer contracts; require. Amends 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.901 - 445.922) by adding sec. 3j. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0536’25: Related but distinct: SB 0535 also amends the Consumer Protection Act (1976 PA 331) — adding sec. 3j to require disclosure of automatic renewal provisions in consumer contracts — illustrating a parallel legislative track amending the same underlying statute (see automatic-renewal-disclosure). (novelty: 2)

(novelty: 3)
2026-06-25 — Consumer protection: other; use of surveillance pricing in the sale of certain goods and services; prohibit. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) & adds sec. 3q. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6099’26: cross-connection with surveillance-pricing-consumer-protection: Both address surveillance pricing under the Consumer Protection Act; likely companion or parallel vehicles worth comparing for scope and mechanism. (novelty: 3)
2026-03-19 — Consumer protection: other; surveillance pricing; prohibit.
