A bill to prohibit the use of certain terminology in the promotion of state or local governmental services.
The proposed legislation aims to regulate the terminology used in the promotion of services provided by state agencies and local governments in Michigan. Specifically, it prohibits these entities from using the word "free" in any promotional materials for services offered to residents. The bill defines "local government" to include counties, cities, villages, and townships, while "state agency" encompasses departments, boards, commissions, offices, agencies, authorities, or other units of state government. This measure is intended to ensure clarity and accuracy in the communication of governmental services to the public.
