Bill overview
House Bill 4582, the "Commercial Premises Liability Act," establishes rules regarding liability for injuries on commercial properties in Michigan. The bill clarifies definitions related to invitees, open and obvious conditions, and possessors of property. It generally limits a property owner’s or possessor’s duty to protect invitees from known hazards, particularly if those hazards are open and obvious, but requires precautions for special features that make a condition unavoidable. This legislation aims to balance property owner rights with the safety of those invited onto their premises.
