Representative Phil Green presented the bill and described personal and workforce reasons for supporting the compact, saying Michigan would join the 42 other states and jurisdictions that recognize a multistate nursing license. \"This would take what is happening in 42 other states and allow it to happen in Michigan,\" Green said, adding that the compact would make it easier for nurses to work in other states for short assignments or telehealth work.

Patrick Miller, a registered nurse and CEO of Hospice of Michigan's NorthStar care community, told the committee that Michigan faces a nursing shortage and that the compact would help fill positions. \"We care for about 2,700 patients a day in Michigan,\" Miller said. \"Adoption of this nursing licensure compact would allow us to more easily fill that nursing shortage.\" He described hospice operations that require nurses to be licensed in states where patients live and said the compact would let employers hire more within Michigan rather than recruiting nurses licensed in many other states.

Committee members asked about compact requirements and costs. Representative Green said Michigan meets the general eligibility requirements and that joining the compact would not impose a fee on individual nurses to use a compact privilege, though he did not have figures for board or state assessment fees associated with compact membership. Representative Whitworth asked about an assessment fee levied by the compact’s commission; Green said he did not know the amount and would address funding in the budget process if necessary.

A number of labor and healthcare organizations submitted cards either in support or indicating they did not wish to speak, including Hospice of Michigan (represented in person), Michigan AFL‑CIO, Michigan Nurses Association, Michigan Health & Hospital Association, Trinity Health Michigan, and others. The transcript shows no committee vote on HB 4246 during the hearing.","Supporters said adopting the Nurse Licensure Compact would let Michigan nurses practice across compact states without duplicative licensing and help address workforce shortages; hospice and health employers urged passage while unions and some groups submitted cards opposing or not opposing the bill without speaking.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":46,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6545728,"Committee hears bill to reduce MIOSHA fines for family farms after on‑farm fatalities",487,837000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3445591-3258d864eb93b4cecccebb40cd5f08b7&start=350&end=837","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3445591-3258d864eb93b4cecccebb40cd5f08b7/thumbnail_350000.jpg","/articles/6545728/Michigan/Committee-hears-bill-to-reduce-MIOSHA-fines-for-family-farms-after-onfarm-fatalities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545728-da5ff02c7bcdcbbda5e79f4ed1325bbe/orig.mp4?Expires=1770507635&Signature=FYQ5FllFaVY1TdCsJ6YP1ExtxDvqgrv9c5dvAkNMCEB47VvwxqiRyvAxRlZ523b4bM7OuP2253srQhhyhO-la8itthyCnxSIKtzLzgJKHS2syAwkoXGQ6p6JMulQbRAuH~h3D8mYd1p4T7LPvnlacj3goQVbAcG015YEGdpdf2xWmfduc5CxFzyDwa3NBBcKx5OybQZLZPkeYLGEgURJFoEso77rlH3eCAOQ9PVCI7h7klMUIP-o1LLogEpHlpsdarRhQnifLwq~QlEiFio4BEojLlFQvxDEj0XenekxXDs8Ib1CnudKo3IE6EY8d65w6Ek1Mmhnbx7xVVq1HpWtPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Michigan House Rules Committee heard testimony on House Bill 4017, which would let state regulators reduce monetary penalties MIOSHA can impose on family‑operated farms after a farm‑related death on property they own.

The bill was presented by Representative Nayer and Josh Scramlin of the Michigan Farm Bureau. Representative Nayer said the measure would not eliminate the reporting requirement but would allow heavier reductions in fines for family operations. \"This bill seeks to reduce the financial penalty MIOSHA can impose upon a family farm operation in the event of a family member, accident or fatal accident,\" he said. Josh Scramlin, associate legislative counsel for the Michigan Farm Bureau, told the committee that the Eisenman family of Lenawee County paid more than $12,000 after a fatality because the death was not reported within eight hours. \"Following Keith's death ... MIOSHA fined his grieving family a total of $12,000 primarily for not reporting his death to the state within 8 hours,\" Scramlin said.

Supporters described the bill as an effort to ease what they called an undue hardship on small family operations during a time of grief while preserving MIOSHA's core reporting powers. Scramlin said the legislation \"does not eliminate the reporting requirement. We recognize that MIOSHA plays a critical role in protecting workers and that timely reporting helps prevent unsafe working conditions from being concealed.\" Representative Nayer added that the proposal would permit penalty reductions of up to 80 percent under the bill's terms and that the measure would clarify rule language to avoid future cases like the Eisenman family's.

Members pressed supporters on technical details. Representative DeBoer asked whether the Eisenman family was still being billed; Representative Nayer replied, \"They've already paid the fine. It was, through themselves and help from their neighbors and friends that they did come up with it there.\" Committee members also discussed whether the bill's rule‑making language should be narrowed; Representative Nayer indicated willingness to consider more specific language on how MIOSHA could promulgate implementing rules.

No formal vote on HB 4017 occurred in the committee transcript. Supporters said the measure has a history of bipartisan sponsorship and previous attempts in past sessions; Scramlin noted earlier versions reached the governor's desk before failing on technical grounds.

The committee then moved on to other testimony.","Testimony in the Michigan House Rules Committee urged lawmakers to reduce penalties MIOSHA can impose on family farm operations after a family member dies in a farm accident; supporters said the bill would keep reporting requirements but allow large reductions in fines.","actionData","errors"]
