MI HB4528

Removes requirement for immigration clerical assistants to maintain a state list by eliminating list-related provisions and creating a new definition of "business relationship" that exempts certain institutional representatives from regulation.

Requires immigration clerical assistants to execute written contracts with consumers in English and translated into the consumer's primary language before providing services, including detailed descriptions, itemized costs, and warnings that the assistant is not an attorney.

Grants consumers 72-hour rescission rights with full refunds of compensation and return of original documents if they cancel within the window.

Prohibits immigration clerical assistants from offering legal advice, claiming special government influence, guaranteeing immigration benefits, and imposes restrictions on using terms that misleadingly imply government approval or attorney status.

Establishes penalties of up to 93 days imprisonment or $1,000 fine for first violations and up to 2 years imprisonment or $10,000 fine for subsequent violations; allows injured consumers to sue for actual damages, treble damages if willful, attorney fees, and costs.
