Abstract
(HB6306 · 103rd Legislature) Consumer protection: other; applicability and enforcement of consumer protection act; expand. Amends title & secs. 2, 5 & 10 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.902 et seq.) & adds secs. 5a & 21a. Sponsor: Rep. Helena Scott (D) + 9 co-sponsors In committee: H Economic Competitiveness Latest action (2026-09-01): Bill Electronically Reproduced 08/27/2026
Why this matters
The Michigan Consumer Protection Act sets the baseline rules businesses must follow when dealing with consumers and defines when the attorney general and private parties can sue. Broadening applicability and enforcement would expose more industries to civil liability and give regulators additional tools, though as an introduced House bill the change is not yet law.
