Abstract
(HB6236 · 103rd Legislature) Construction: code; blue push plate on manual control of an automated door; require. Amends 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1501 - 125.1531) by adding sec. 4l. Sponsor: Rep. Mike Mueller ® In committee: H Regulatory Reform Latest action (2026-08-25): Bill Electronically Reproduced 08/11/2026
Why this matters
For building owners, contractors, and manufacturers, this proposal would standardize the color of the manual-control push plate on automated doors under the State Construction Code, creating a small but concrete compliance item during construction, renovation, or door replacement. The change is narrow and largely aesthetic/accessibility-signaling in scope, with limited direct cost implications but statewide applicability to any regulated building with automated doors.
