Michigan

2026

This bill would add a 32% tax on smartphones and wireless devices bought for kids and teens under 18 years old in Michigan. Basic phones that only make calls would be excluded. The tax would be collected by the retailer when the device is bought, and all the money would go into a special fund to support children’s mental health and safety programs. Violations could result in penalties or fines for businesses that do not comply. Specific details would be set by the state if the bill passes.
