BOMA and 10+ other large-scale Michigan organizations have rallied behind this bill. The bill passed the Michigan House with one Democrat crossing party lines. Our Senate outreach campaign has focused on the 20 Michigan Democratic Senators, and we only need 2-3 “flips” to pass the bill. So far, we have sent personalized letters and emails to every Senate office, held meetings with staffers for Senators on the Committee on Finance, and driven to Lansing multiple times to have face-to-face conversations with legislators and show support for this bill. Time is not on our side. If House Bill 4582 doesn’t pass before December 31st, 2026, we will have to restart our efforts from scratch. As a BOMA member, you can help change that. The only way this bill passes is if we show the Senate how hard we have been affected by the removal of Open and Obvious. If your State Senator is a Democrat, or hasn’t shown interest in this bill, we can connect you with staffers. If you have seen frivolous lawsuits, rising insurance rates, or have a story that would get the attention of your Senator, email me at sclark@thomasduke.com and I will make sure it gets to Lansing.
