Abstract
(HB6102 · 103rd Legislature) 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 Latest action (2026-06-18): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/17/2026
Why this matters
HB6102 would establish a new Michigan statutory prohibition on excessively increased pricing for goods and services during declared states of emergency, giving consumers a formal price-gouging protection that currently exists only through general consumer-protection theories. For businesses, it adds a compliance obligation triggered by gubernatorial or presidential emergency declarations, and its tie-bar structure with HB6103 and HB6104 signals a coordinated House package covering multiple pricing scenarios.
