Abstract
(HB6209 · 103rd Legislature) Education: teachers and administrators; employment of certain federal officers; prohibit. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1230j. Latest action (2026-07-14): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/03/2026
Why this matters
This proposal would create a new eligibility restriction for Michigan public school employers, narrowing the pool of candidates for teaching and administrative positions by excluding certain federal officers. For workers, it introduces a categorical bar tied to prior federal service; for districts, it adds a screening obligation under the School Code. It fits a broader pattern of Michigan measures defining boundaries between state institutions and federal officers.
