Department
of Labor and Economic Opportunity
February 14, 2020
The unemployment agency shall
make an annual report to the legislature on the operation of the program. The
first report under this subsection is due within 60 days after the first
anniversary date of the beginning of the program. Each report under this
subsection must include, but is not limited to, the following for the previous
12-month period:
a) Number and type of claimants served.
b) Number and type of employers served.
c) Costs to the program of the claimants served.
d) Costs to the program of the employers served.

February 20, 2020
The Work Share Program was
created by the enactment of Public Act 1 of 1936, Section 421.28b to 421.28m of
the Michigan Employment Security (MES) Act. The purpose of Work Share is to
allow an employer to maintain operational productivity by reducing the work
hours of employees during an economic decline in regular business activity
instead of laying-off employees. With the plan, eligible employees work a
reduced number of hours in the work week and receive a portion of weekly
unemployment benefits.
Per Section 421.28l of the MES Act, the Unemployment
Insurance Agency (UIA) shall submit to the Governor, the Secretary of the
Senate, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives for referral to the Chair
and Minority Vice-Chair of the appropriate committees an annual report
regarding shared-work plans under sections 28b to 28m. The report shall include
the number of approved shared-work plans, the number of participating
employers, the number of participating employees, the amount of compensation
and aid to participating employees, and any other information the UIA determines
is relevant to assess the impact of shared-work plans on the unemployment
compensation fund. The first report shall be submitted on or before the first
day of March following the first complete calendar year during which sections 28b
to 28m are in effect, and subsequent reports shall be submitted on or before
the first day of March of each subsequent year.
If you have any questions, please
contact Stephanie Glidden, UIA Legislative Liaison at 517-241-0029.
February 27, 2020
In accordance with Section 8 of
the Michigan Employment Security Act,
being Section 421.8 of the Michigan
Compiled Laws, the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity,
Unemployment Insurance Agency is required to report annually to the Governor
and the Legislature any amount, in excess of $1.00, that the maximum weekly
unemployment benefit rate would increase if the annual increase in the United
States Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) were applied to the
maximum weekly benefit rate for Michigan.
I am, therefore, transmitting to
the Governor, and to the House and Senate for publication along with this
letter in the Journals of their
respective bodies, the enclosed report showing that since the last increase in
the maximum weekly benefit rate to $362.00 in 2002, the increase in the CPI
would result in an increase in the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate to
$501.15.

Gray, Director
Unemployment
Insurance Agency

UP
Energy Task Force
Department
of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
On June 7, 2019, Executive Order
2019-14 established the UP Energy Task Force (“Task Force”).
Section 2(b) of Executive Order
2019-14 charged the Task Force with preparing a final report and submitting it
to the governor in two stages, with the first submission – a propane plan
focused on alternative means to supply propane to the Upper Peninsula (“UP”) –
due March 31, 2020.
In carrying out this charge, the
Task Force has continually sought and benefited from input provided by
residents of this state. The work of the Task Force would benefit from an
extension of the deadline for submitting its propane plan, to permit more time
for public comment.
Section 1 of article 5 of the
Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of
Michigan in the governor.
Acting under the Michigan
Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order that Section 2(b) of Executive
Order 2019-14 be amended to read as follows:
The Task Force shall prepare a
final report and submit it to the governor. The Task Force shall complete its
final report in two stages. First, the Task Force shall submit a propane plan
to the governor by April 17, 2020. This plan shall focus on alternative
means to supply propane to the UP, consistent with section 2(a) of this order.
Second, the Task Force shall submit the remainder of its report, also consistent
with section 2(a), by March 31, 2021.
This order is effective upon
filing.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State of Michigan.

the bill.
The
motion prevailed.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as
follows:
Today I rise and ask for your
support for my legislation to create a tax check-off for the Michigan chapter
of the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association.
Congenital heart disease is the
No. 1 birth defect and consists of problems with the heart’s structure or the
way it works that are present at birth, including related life-long
consequences. One in 100 newborns are born with CHD, there is an estimated two
to three million people living with CHD, and 25 percent of children born with
CHD need heart surgery or other intervention to survive.
On October 23, 2015, Ruby Jane
Schupbach, the inspiration for this legislation, was born with CHD. Ruby, the
fourth child to David and Gail Schupbach, at one month old, had her first open
heart surgery. She is now four and has had three open-heart surgeries and more
than ten heart catheterizations. Ruby is more than just a statistic, and will
have a long road ahead for her CHD journey; but like many CHD warriors, you
wouldn’t know it when you meet her. She is happy, playful, and precocious.
While there is no cure, thanks to
advances in medical research, more and more children are surviving. Over 85
percent of babies born with CHD will now live to reach the age of 18. Michigan
families have found their support in the Pediatric Congenital Heart
Association. They have been connected to research, resources, and comfort. All
funds raised through this check-off will go to the Michigan chapter of the
Pediatric Congenital Heart Association in support of their efforts to improve
the lives of those with CHD and their families through direct support,
education, research, and awareness.
Please join me in supporting the
millions of individuals living with congenital heart disease by voting in
support of this legislation.
The following bill was read a
third time:
Senate Bill No. 371, entitled
A bill to amend 1967 PA 281, entitled “Income

Senator Ananich’s statement is as
follows:
Most of you know that I have a
small child—he’s four-and-a-half years old. I haven’t had the pleasure of
taking and posting the first-day picture, but I think many of us would love to
have—through you, Madam Secretary—that you require that your Assistant Secretary
take the first day of school picture with me and anybody else who wants to take
it. As most of you know, he’s been a staffer for us for a long time. He’s a
very reserved person, so I probably am already embarrassing him more than he
would like.
I think you did a great job of
describing his background—and I’m joking here because it’s emotional when you
lose somebody, although we didn’t lose you very far—I was fine with you moving
up there. I was actually very thrilled to make the recommendation. You’ve been
a tremendous staffer and you’re an amazing person, Dan. You’re a great father.
You’re a great husband. You’ve done an amazing amount of work for our caucus
and the state. I think anybody who’s worked with you would say you’re fair, you’re
knowledgeable, and you’re respectful. I think you are the epitome of what a
staffer should look like. In case you don’t want to, I’m going to ask that your
new boss make you take a picture with me and I’ll post the first day picture.
You’re not my son, of course, but you’re a tremendous person and it would be a
pleasure to do it.
