Bill overview
This bill revises Michigan’s animal industry act to update requirements for egg-laying hens. It defines key terms like ‘cage-free housing system’ and outlines specific standards for housing, including minimum floor space, enrichments, and employee access. The bill establishes a timeline for implementation, with full requirements taking effect on December 31, 2024, and for gestating sows on April 1, 2020. It also includes provisions to protect businesses from liability if they rely on supplier certifications regarding egg production.
