What changed between versions
The introduction date was updated from June 4, 2025, to reflect the bill's progression through the Senate, and the effective date clause was added to link this bill's implementation to another pending bill (SB 351).
New definitions were added for 'ADAD' (automatic dialing devices), 'do-not-call list', 'existing customer', 'residential telephone subscriber', 'telephone solicitation', 'telephone solicitor', and 'vendor' to regulate phone marketing.
The definition of 'Commission' was updated to refer to the 'public service commission' rather than the 'Michigan public service commission', and the list of holidays in the 'Business day' definition was adjusted.
New requirements were established for telephone solicitations, including exemptions for existing customers and specific rules for calls requesting face-to-face meetings.
The text was reorganized to fix formatting errors, correct section numbering, and resolve inconsistencies in the definition of 'goods or services' and the ordering of definitions.
