Bill > HB4294

This bill amends Michigan's management and budget act to prohibit the state department from awarding contracts to employers who do not possess a fair paycheck workplace certificate. The bill modifies existing procurement rules by adding a new requirement that employers must have this certificate to be eligible for state contracts. A fair paycheck workplace certificate is defined in the bill as a specific designation (though the details of obtaining such a certificate are not provided in this text). The bill maintains existing provisions about competitive bidding, giving preferences to qualified disabled veterans, and requiring best value bidder selection. The legislation also includes technical changes to language, such as replacing "shall" with "must" in various sections and reorganizing some definitions. Notably, the bill is tied to another piece of legislation (House Bill 4295) and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law. The goal appears to be ensuring that state contractors meet certain workplace standards, though the specific criteria for the fair paycheck workplace certificate are not detailed in this bill text.
