Civil procedure: other; firearm industry responsibility act; provide for. Amends 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.101 - 600.9947) by adding sec. 3845. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5760'26
This 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.
