HB 5060 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Labor: job development; Michigan economic and social opportunity act of 1981; repeal. Repeals 1981 PA 230 (MCL 400.1101 - 400.1119).

HB 5060 eliminates the Michigan Economic and Social Opportunity Act of 1981, which previously established a state bureau and commission focused on reducing poverty and promoting self-sufficiency for low-income individuals. By repealing the 1981 law, the bill removes the legal framework that designated community action agencies and defined the powers and duties of the department, bureau, and commission. This change effectively dissolves the specific administrative structure created by the 1981 act, altering how these entities operate within the state government. The legislation affects the state's organizational setup for economic and social services but does not create new programs or funding mechanisms.
