All eggs sold in Michigan will have to come from hens raised in cage-free conditions by December 2024, thanks to a bill that was signed into law today.
Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist signed Senate Bill 174, which states all egg-laying hens in Michigan will be in cage-free systems and no non-cage free eggs will be legally allowed to be sold in Michigan.
“Signing this bill is the right thing to do,” Gilchrist said in a statement. “This will ensure that our standards are amongst the strongest in the nation when it comes to protecting animal welfare, while ensuring that egg producers are able to continue to thrive.”
