Michigan makes the transition to cage-free eggs
In 2019, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II signed a revised Animal Industry Act including the Michigan Cage-Free Egg Law, requiring cage-free environments by Dec. 31, 2024. (Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was on a trade mission to Israel at the time.) A 2009 act called for larger cages by the end of 2019, but the new law prohibits cages.
