Summary
House bills 4001 and 4002 were introduced on first reading and referred to the Select Committee on Protecting Michigan Employees and Small Businesses; details of the proposed amendments were not provided on the floor.
House Bill 4001, introduced by Representative Roth, and House Bill 4002, introduced by Representative DeBoer, were read for the first time by title and referred to the Select Committee on Protecting Michigan Employees and Small Businesses during the Jan. 7, 2025, session of the Michigan House of Representatives.
House Bill 4001 was described on the floor as a bill “to amend the Workforce Opportunity Wage Act.” House Bill 4002 was described as a bill “to amend the Earned Sick Time Act.” Both bills were read a first time by title and referred to the select committee; the clerk’s floor text did not include substantive language, bill text, fiscal notes or committee assignment details beyond the referral.
The clerk also announced that bills reproduced on the house floor would be made available electronically on Wednesday, Jan. 8. No committee hearings or timelines for consideration of the bills were specified during the floor reading recorded in the transcript.
Because the bills were only read by title on first reading, no final action or vote on the bills occurred during the session covered by the transcript.
