Context text
Rep. Frederick moved that the bill be given immediate effect. The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor. Rep. Yancey, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: In this day and age where we are asking to rename statues. buildings and monuments to ensure we are not honoring racists, I do not feel that we should continue naming these things, including highways without knowing who they are and what they stand for.” Rep. Hope, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: I support higher education, and I support job training. However, this bill is corporate welfare with little accountability for the businesses who take advantage of this program. This money is used only to train prospective employees to the company’s specifications; it cannot be used for those employees to pursue additional training or to fulfill their other educational goals. Lastly, this bill requires that employers pay little more than $16/hour. These are not career jobs; they are subsistence jobs. And Michigan taxpayers wind up footing the bill.” Senate Bill No. 445, entitled A bill to amend 1936 (Ex Sess) PA 1, entitled “Michigan employment security act,” by amending section 28 (MCL 421.28), as amended by 2020 PA 229.
