Abstract
(HB6070 · 103rd Legislature) Labor: other; registry of employers who relocate a call center to a foreign country; require the department of labor and economic opportunity to create. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-06-11): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/10/2026
Why this matters
Creating a state registry of employers that offshore call centers gives Michigan a formal tracking mechanism to name firms moving jobs overseas and to tie eligibility for state contracts or incentives to that status. For workers, it signals policy attention to call-center job losses; for employers, it introduces a new reporting and reputational compliance obligation administered by LEO. The bill is at an early stage (introduced) and its operational scope will depend on how LEO is directed to define, publish, and use the registry.
