Consumer protection: other; procedures relating to investigative demands; establish. Amends sec. 15 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.915) & adds sec. 8a.

Michigan House Bill 6307 grants the state attorney general and local prosecuting attorneys the authority to issue written investigative demands to individuals suspected of violating consumer protection laws. These demands can require a person to appear for an oath-bound examination, answer written questions, or produce specific documents and physical objects relevant to the investigation. The bill establishes that recipients have the right to petition a circuit court in Ingham County for a protective order to extend deadlines, modify requirements, or dismiss the demand entirely. If a person fails to comply with a valid demand without securing such an order, they may face civil fines of up to $10,000 and potential court orders compelling compliance or preventing the destruction of evidence.
