HB 5460 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State management: purchasing; state procurement of electric motor vehicles made with forced labor; prohibit. Amends secs. 213 & 215 of 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1213 & 18.1215).

HB 5460 prohibits Michigan state agencies from purchasing electric motor vehicles or components unless manufacturers provide a sworn declaration confirming no forced labor or oppressive child labor was used in their production, mining, or sourcing. This applies directly to all state agencies acquiring such vehicles, requiring verification of supply chain labor practices before contracts are signed. The bill defines "forced labor" broadly to include coercion, threats, abuse of legal processes, and child labor exploitation. It amends existing procurement laws to enforce this requirement, with no exceptions for state agencies under the transportation department's jurisdiction.
