Abstract
(HB6165 · 103rd Legislature) Trade: labeling; manufacturer labeling requirements for certain electric scooters and electric skateboards; provide for. Amends 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.1 - 257.923) by adding secs. 32 & 662b. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6166’26 Latest action (2026-07-14): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/03/2026
Why this matters
For manufacturers and retailers of electric scooters and skateboards sold in Michigan, this bill would add a state-level product labeling compliance requirement under the Motor Vehicle Code, with cost and process implications for producers doing business in the state. Because it is tie-barred to HB 6166’26, the labeling regime only takes effect alongside a companion measure, signaling a broader micro-mobility regulatory package rather than a standalone rule.
