In committee · Michigan House · Co-sponsor

Employment security: other; contribution rate increase for certain employers; prohibit. Amends 1936 (Ex Sess) PA 1 (MCL 421.1 - 421.75) by adding sec. 19b.

Maddy summaryThis bill prevents employers from raising their unemployment insurance contribution rates if they laid off workers due to avian influenza outbreaks in poultry or livestock after April 3, 2024. It applies to businesses that were already paying a specific contribution rate as of January 1, 2024, and ensures those rates remain unchanged for qualifying layoffs. The measure aims to protect employers from additional financial penalties when they are forced to reduce staff because of the bird flu.
