HB 6000 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Consumer protection: other; businesses that participate in round-up donation programs; require certain disclosures related to organization receiving the funds. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) & adds sec. 3p.

This bill requires businesses that participate in round-up donation programs to clearly disclose which organization will receive the donated funds. By adding a new section to the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, the legislation mandates that these disclosures be made prominently to ensure consumers understand where their money is going. The rule applies to any merchant offering a round-up option where a customer's purchase total is rounded up to the nearest dollar, with the difference donated to a charity or nonprofit. This change aims to increase transparency in charitable giving practices by preventing confusion about the recipient of the contributions.
