2011 House Bill 4815: Assert post-ban legality of "Michigan-made" incandescent lightbulbs (House Roll Call 413)
Passed 62 to 46 in the House on October 13, 2011, to establish that incandescent light bulbs of any wattage may be sold in Michigan if they are completely made in Michigan, notwithstanding a federal law phasing-in a ban on bulbs 40 watts and above starting in 2012. Congress claims authority to impose this ban based on the Constitution’s interstate commerce clause, so presumably a 100 percent Michigan bulb would be exempt.

The issues are much more complicated than bumper sticker green rhetoric. Fluorescents have claimed qualities that do not bear up to analysis, but they are much better in certain business activities.

Need Court decision if this bill wouid be legal. Charles Armentrout
