MI HB4582

Creates the "Premises Liability Act" establishing that property possessors must use ordinary care to protect invitees from unreasonable risks of harm from conditions they know or should know about on their premises.

Eliminates a possessor's duty to protect or warn invitees about "open and obvious" conditions, defined as conditions known to the invitee or discoverable by a reasonably careful person on casual inspection.

Requires possessors to take reasonable precautions for open and obvious conditions that have special features making them effectively unavoidable or creating unreasonably high risk of severe harm.

Prohibits Michigan courts from adopting the Restatement of Torts, 3rd, or any standard that would replace the invitee-status-based liability approach with a general reasonable care standard based on all circumstances.

Preserves existing comparative fault defenses and does not create duties for property owners who are not also possessors of the premises.
