Michigan House Bill 5250, introduced on November 12, 2025, by Representative Erin Byrnes and 31 co-sponsors, bans selling dietary supplements for weight loss or muscle building and over-the-counter diet pills to anyone under 18. Retailers must check IDs for in-person sales (like driver's licenses or passports) and verify age online using government databases. Products can be locked or behind counters, and sharing ID info is banned except for legal reasons. Violators face up to $1,000 in fines, and the Attorney General can sue retailers (but not clerks unless they're conspiring). The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, with the Board of Pharmacy, will make rules to enforce this.

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Movement does not support this bill because it restricts minors' access to natural supplements that could support healthy weight management or muscle development through nutrition, viewing it as overreach that limits family choices. MAHA believes in empowering parents and kids with safe, natural options to address health issues like obesity, rather than blanket bans that treat all supplements as dangerous. This bill could push families toward pharmaceutical alternatives, benefiting Big Pharma while ignoring the benefits of holistic, nutrient-based solutions Kennedy champions.
