A bill to amend 1976 PA 453, entitled “Elliott-Larsen civil rights act,” by amending section 301 (MCL 37.2301), as amended by 2023 PA 6.
The bill aims to redefine "place of public accommodation" to include a broader range of businesses and facilities that offer services to the public, including certain private clubs, with specific exceptions. It also seeks to clarify the definition of "public service" and expand the definition of "sex" to include pregnancy or lactating status. This expansion is intended to extend protections under the civil rights act to prohibit discrimination based on pregnancy or lactating status.
