Bill > SB0759

This bill amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act to add a new provision making it an unfair trade practice to violate the Kids Code Act. The bill makes several minor technical edits throughout the existing law, primarily updating gender-neutral language (such as changing "he or she" to "the person") and making small grammatical improvements. The new provision (labeled as subsection (ll)) explicitly adds a violation of the Kids Code Act to the list of unfair, unconscionable, or deceptive methods that are considered unlawful in trade or commerce. The bill maintains the existing structure of the consumer protection law, which provides a comprehensive list of specific practices that are considered deceptive, such as misrepresenting product characteristics, making false advertising claims, or taking advantage of a consumer's vulnerabilities. The amendment is contingent on the passage of a related bill (referenced by a placeholder bill number), suggesting this is part of a larger legislative package. The bill allows the Attorney General to create rules to implement the act, with the limitation that these rules cannot create additional unfair trade practices beyond those already enumerated in the existing law.
