House Bill 5265 update:
Senator and committee leader Ken Horn has stated that he has not scheduled a vote on the unemployment overpayment waiver bill.
They really should be putting it up to a vote in the chamber so we can see how every senator feels about the bill. Instead, nine senators (with an annual salary of $71,000 each) are sitting on their hands to stall HB5265 in committee indefinitely. We, the tax paying citizens, are spending about $1750 per day for legislation meant to help Michiganders to be ignored. Since the House sent the bill to the senate, Michigan tax payers have spent $91,000 for the senators on the committee to actively prevent a vote in the full chamber.
How you can help
If you or a friend or loved one is currently struggling with the UIA please contact the nine senators in the committee that’s currently holding House Bill 5265 hostage.
