An Act establishing job permanency for MADOC instructors

This bill establishes automatic job permanency for provisional Industrial Instructors working in the Michigan Department of Corrections (MADOC) program. After completing 12 months of continuous employment in their current position, these instructors will be converted to permanent status without needing additional approval. The law directly affects MADOC instructors currently holding provisional roles, changing their employment status to permanent after one year. It creates a clear, time-based mechanism for job security without altering other employment conditions.
