Officials say that a new state contact-tracing order reveals that Michigan companies don't have the duty of verifying that the contact information they collect is correct, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential.
That is according to a Frequently Asked Questions post on Michigan.gov. The FAQ post says the new mandate went into effect on November 2.
The state encourages (but does not require) businesses to deny service to citizens who refuse to contribute their names and contact information.
The business industries mentioned in the mandate are: barbershops, cosmetology services, body art services, tanning services, massage services or similar personal care services, recreational sports and exercise facilities, entertainment facilities (including arenas, cinemas, concert halls, performance venues, sporting venues, stadiums and theaters, amusement parks, arcades, and bingo halls), all businesses or operations that provide in-home services (including cleaners, repair people, painters), and all dine-in food service establishments, including bars and restaurants, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential.
