THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec.
2110a. (1) If Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (2), if uniformly applied to all its insureds, an
insurer may establish and maintain a premium discount plan

act and reflects reasonably anticipated reductions in losses or
expenses. This section does not affect benefits or obligations

insurer to offer or prohibits an insurer from offering premium
discount plans concerning any of the following:
(a) Health care services, health care providers, or health
care facilities.
(b) Automobile repair providers.
(c) Materials used in the repair of an automobile.
(2) A premium discount plan shall not be based in whole or in
part upon an applicant's or insured's lack of credit history.
