Bill overview
House Bill 4559 aims to standardize the language used when promoting government services in Michigan. The bill establishes the ‘Promotion of Governmental Services Act’ and defines key terms like ‘local government’ and ‘taxpayer funded.’ Specifically, it prohibits state agencies and local governments from using the word ‘free’ to advertise services offered at no cost to residents, requiring them to instead use the phrase ‘taxpayer funded.’ This regulation is intended to ensure consistent and transparent communication about how government services are financed.
