Chamber Passed·3/11/26

Michigan HB4582 establishes the "commercial premises liability act" to define premises liability for possessors of real property concerning injuries.

Michigan HB4582, known as the "commercial premises liability act," outlines the liability of possessors of real property for injuries to invitees. It defines key terms such as "invitee," "open and obvious," "owner," "person," "possessor," and "premises." The act specifies that a possessor has a duty to protect an invitee from risks of harm that ordinary care would discover. However, a possessor owes no duty to protect an invitee from, or warn an invitee of, risks of harm from an open and obvious condition on the premises.
