Abstract
(HB6210 · 103rd Legislature) Corrections: employees; certain federal employees certified or recertified as state correctional officers; prohibit. Amends sec. 9 of 1982 PA 415 (MCL 791.509). Latest action (2026-07-14): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/03/2026
Why this matters
For Michigan employers (the Department of Corrections) and workers, HB6210 would narrow the pool of eligible correctional officer candidates by disqualifying certain federal employees from state certification or recertification. It fits a broader package of bills separating Michigan public-sector employment and credentialing from specific federal roles, with implications for staffing and interagency labor mobility.
