LANSING MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A new law that governs when car dealerships need to be open in Michigan was signed earlier this week by Governor Whitmer.
The law states that dealerships are required to be open for 30/per week for 48 weeks, instead of the original 52, and that the remaining four weeks will have no hourly restrictions for either new or used car dealers.
The law does not have a requirement for dealers to reduce their hours during those four weeks, but they have an option to do it if needed.
State Sen. Kim LaSata, R-Coloma, was the sponsor of the bill, and said the changes make sense for employers and employees in the car business.
