The Michigan Senate is expected to soon vote on a measure to expand the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCPA), exposing every regulated business and profession in Michigan to costly and frivolous litigation.
- Make your voice heard today using the MI Chamber’s Action Alert to urge Senators vote ‘NO’ on this dangerous proposal.
Why it matters: Michigan’s current regulatory compliance exemption — backed by key Michigan Supreme Court rulings — protects businesses operating within their licensed authority. SB 134 would repeal the longstanding exemption, meaning all state-regulated businesses and professions — including doctors, lawyers, banks, auto dealers, casinos, insurers, utilities, and more — could face duplicate enforcement, legal battles and steep penalties. Think: frivolous and abusive litigation, class action lawsuits and treble damages, and inconsistent judgments from courts and regulators.
- This proposal underscores how important it is for you to get involved and share how your day-to-day activities are already overregulated and burdensome. Your voice is powerful and your story matters. Contact your State Senator today and urge them to oppose this harmful and dangerous legislation!
