Abstract
(HB5955 · 103rd Legislature) Labor: fair employment practices; labor service agencies; regulate. Creates new act. Sponsor: Rep. Kara Hope (D) + 9 co-sponsors In committee: H Government Operations Latest action (2026-05-13): Bill Electronically Reproduced 05/12/2026
Why this matters
Labor service agencies (staffing firms, temp agencies, and similar intermediaries) currently operate in Michigan without a dedicated statutory framework, leaving workers placed through these entities with unclear protections. A new act situated within fair employment practices would set baseline conduct rules for these agencies and could affect how employers use contingent labor and how workers pursue wage and discrimination claims.
