Starting Monday, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's state will soon require restaurants and bars to take diners' names and contact information, according to a release from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
"Like many other businesses in Michigan, bars and restaurants will also be required to take names and contact information to support effective contact tracing if necessary," the release reads.
Whitmer has already ran afoul of the Michigan Supreme Court, which ruled against her previous power grab attempt after she tried to unilaterally extend her original emergency declarations.
The Whitmer administration DHHS' new orders are further putting a squeeze on ailing restaurants with some other restrictions on bars, restaurants and general gatherings.
Unsurprisingly, restaurants are less than thrilled with Whitmer's latest move.
If a restaurant serves them anyway and Whitmer's goons come asking for some contact tracing information?
"Violations are punishable by a civil fine up to $1,000 and may also be treated as a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than six months or a fine of not more than $200, or both. In addition, failure to comply with orders may violate a business or professional's licensure requirements or present a workplace safety violation," the release said.
