Rep. Jason Morgan

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's Consumer Protection Act to prohibit merchants from charging consumers prices that are grossly in excess of what similar products or services cost elsewhere. It directly affects businesses and consumers by establishing clearer rules against predatory pricing practices. The key provision adds a new unfair practice definition that makes it unlawful to charge prices significantly higher than market rates for comparable goods or services. This change aims to protect consumers from price gouging while maintaining the existing framework of consumer protection laws.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Reproductive Health Data Privacy Act, establishes new rules for how businesses and organizations can collect, process, and sell personal information related to reproductive health. It requires individuals to give clear, specific consent before their reproductive health data is gathered or shared, prohibiting vague consent methods like broad terms-of-service agreements or deceptive design patterns. The legislation also bans the use of geofence technology that creates virtual boundaries around reproductive health service facilities to track individuals. Additionally, the act defines what constitutes reproductive health data, outlines protections for biometric information, and provides civil remedies for violations while excluding certain research and publicly available information from these restrictions.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows Michigan customers to install small, portable solar power systems on their property without needing approval from their electric provider or paying installation fees. It defines these systems as plug-in photovoltaic devices that produce up to 1,200 watts and connect through standard electrical outlets, while protecting providers from liability for any damage caused by customer installations. The law requires customers to notify their electric provider within 30 days of installation using a form developed by the state commission, which must include details like the system's capacity and address. Electric providers cannot require additional equipment or charge fees for these systems, and providers must not approve or reject their use. The bill amends Michigan's Clean and Renewable Energy Act to formalize these rules for small-scale solar generation.

Maddy summaryThis bill removes the requirement for anglers to pay a fee to use certain fishing devices such as set hook lines, nets, and commercial trolling rigs in Michigan waters. It directly affects individuals and businesses that currently hold licenses for these specific fishing activities. The legislation amends existing sections of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to eliminate the associated licensing fees while maintaining the requirement for a license itself. This change applies to both residents and nonresidents engaging in these types of fishing methods.

Maddy summaryThis bill would add a new section to Michigan's civil procedure laws that allows the state attorney general and private individuals to sue firearm industry members for creating or maintaining a public nuisance through the sale, manufacture, or marketing of firearms and related products. The legislation requires these companies to establish reasonable controls over their products to prevent sales to prohibited persons, prevent theft, and stop the installation of devices like pistol converters, without needing to prove the company intended to cause harm. If a company violates these requirements, the attorney general can seek injunctions, damages, and other relief, while private victims of harm can also file lawsuits for compensatory and punitive damages. The bill defines firearm industry members broadly to include sellers, manufacturers, and distributors, and explicitly includes 3D printers and other manufacturing equipment in its scope.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits licensed concealed pistol carriers from bringing firearms into specific state buildings and certain public venues, including schools, hospitals, sports arenas, and places of worship. It also bans portable electro-muscular disruption devices in these same locations, with exceptions for parking areas and certain law enforcement personnel. The legislation applies to all licensed individuals except retired police officers, security contractors, private investigators, and other designated law enforcement roles who are permitted to carry weapons on these premises. Violations result in civil fines, license suspensions, or criminal penalties depending on whether it is a first, second, or subsequent offense.

Maddy summaryThis bill would prohibit the sale, offer for sale, and possession of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds in Michigan starting January 1, 2027. The law applies to all individuals within the state and would classify violations as misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days in jail, a fine of $500, or both. It directly affects gun owners, retailers, and manufacturers by restricting access to high-capacity magazines while allowing magazines with 10 rounds or fewer. The legislation amends Michigan's penal code to establish these new restrictions on ammunition storage and distribution.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as Messiah's Law, creates a new felony offense for intentionally firing a gun at a vehicle the shooter knows or should know is occupied. The law directly affects individuals who commit this act and establishes penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. If a minor is present in the vehicle, the penalties increase to up to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. The legislation amends Michigan's penal code by adding a specific section to address this conduct. The bill would take effect 90 days after being signed into law.

Maddy summaryThis bill would require sellers to wait at least three days after completing a firearm sale before delivering the weapon to the buyer. It also prohibits sellers from selling firearms to individuals under indictment for a felony or those legally barred from owning guns. The legislation applies to anyone selling firearms in Michigan and carries penalties ranging from misdemeanor fines to felony imprisonment for violations.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's Code of Criminal Procedure to update sentencing guidelines and revise cross-references to reflect changes in related laws. It directly affects judges and prosecutors who apply sentencing rules and firearm regulations during criminal cases. The legislation does not introduce new criminal penalties or change existing laws but rather aligns legal references to ensure consistency across the state's criminal justice system.
