"Michigan Implements New Gun Safety Laws This Week"

Several new laws and amendments passed by Michigan lawmakers in 2023 are set to take effect in 2024, including measures related to gun safety, minimum wage, LGBTQ+ protections, the "Right to Work" policy, and more. These laws include requirements for firearm storage, universal background checks, and expanded civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. Additionally, the state's controversial "right-to-work" policy has been repealed, a prevailing wage law has been reinstated, and barriers to abortion care and access have been removed. Minimum wage will see a slight increase, and a climate action plan has been enacted to lower household utility costs and prioritize clean energy.
