In 2024, the Michigan legislature passed nine bills to improve workers’ wages, healthcare, pensions, and legal rights. Now, due to political gamesmanship, these bills haven’t been sent to Governor Whitmer for her signature — yet. Senate Democrats have done all they can to ensure these bills are passed — now it is up to the House to send these bills to the governor, and it’s on Governor Whitmer to sign them into law.

It’s time for lawmakers — Republicans and Democrats — to put politics aside and get this done for working Michiganders.

• HB 4900 & 4901: Shields working families from aggressive debt collection tactics that seize wages and intercept Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) — funds meant to help families stay afloat.

• HB 4665–4667: Ensures retirement security for public safety professionals, including law enforcement officers, by strengthening their pension benefits. Those who protect our communities deserve to retire with dignity.

• HB 6058: Lowers healthcare costs for public employees by requiring employers to cover at least 80% of health insurance premiums — ensuring affordability for teachers, first responders, and other essential workers.

Every day that these bills are not signed into law means real harm to Michigan families.

Take action and demand that Michigan’s lawmakers work together to improve the lives of Michigan’s workers.
