HB-4815, As Passed House, October 13, 2011
SUBSTITUTE FOR
HOUSE BILL NO. 4815
A bill to provide for the labeling of certain incandescent
lightbulbs as made in Michigan.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1. As used in this act:
(a) "Incandescent lightbulb" means a lightbulb containing a
filament or filaments that produce light when the filament or
filaments are heated due to electrical resistance.
(b) "Generic or insignificant parts" means parts that are
minor components or have manufacturing or consumer product
applications other than the production of incandescent lightbulbs
and includes, but is not limited to, steel, glass, springs, screws,
nuts, pins, and ceramics.
(c) "Manufactured" means created from basic materials for
functional usefulness, including, but not limited to, forging,
casting, machining, or other processes for working materials.
Sec. 2. The legislature finds all of the following:
(a) An incandescent lightbulb that is manufactured in this
state without the inclusion of parts, other than generic or
insignificant parts, imported from outside of this state and that
remains within this state has not entered into interstate commerce
and is not subject to congressional authority to regulate
interstate commerce.
(b) Basic materials, such as unmachined and unshaped steel and
glass, are not incandescent lightbulbs and are not subject to
congressional authority to regulate incandescent lightbulbs in
interstate commerce as if the basic materials were actually
incandescent lightbulbs.
(c) Congressional authority to regulate interstate commerce in
basic materials does not include authority to regulate incandescent
lightbulbs manufactured in this state from those basic materials.
Sec. 3. An incandescent lightbulb manufactured in this state
without the inclusion of parts, other than generic or insignificant
parts, imported from outside of this state, may have the words
"made in Michigan" clearly stamped, engraved, or otherwise clearly
indicated on a central part as evidence that, if the incandescent
lightbulb remains in this state, it has not entered or
substantially affected interstate commerce.
