Michigan Introduces Comprehensive Privacy Bill
A bipartisan group of senators in Michigan introduced a comprehensive privacy bill on Thursday in an effort toward establishing privacy rights for the state's consumers. If enacted, the state will join the 20 others who have comprehensive privacy laws, though six won’t take effect until later in 2025 or in 2026 (see 2501060066).

SB-359, also called the "personal data privacy act," would require standards regarding the collection, sharing, processing, retention and sale of personal data, as well as certain notices to be made available to consumers about these practices. It also includes a universal opt-out mechanism and would require registration of data brokers. Michigan failed to pass comprehensive privacy legislation last year (see 2412300043).
The bill has been referred to the Committee on Finance, Insurance and Consumer Protection.
