Consumer protection: solicitations; citations to the motor vehicle sales finance act in 1971 PA 227; revise. Amends sec. 1 of 1971 PA 227 (MCL 445.111). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5354'23

This bill amends the Michigan Home Solicitation Sales Act to update the definitions of key terms used in consumer protection laws regarding sales made at residences or via telephone. Specifically, it clarifies what constitutes a "home solicitation sale," "telephone solicitation," and "written solicitation" while explicitly excluding certain transactions like insurance sales, real estate services, and loans from these definitions. The legislation also standardizes the list of holidays that are not considered business days and refines rules about when sellers can contact existing customers. By revising these definitions, the bill aims to ensure that the state's consumer protection regulations accurately reflect current sales practices without changing the underlying penalties or remedies for violations.
