To repeal <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-HB-4800">the 2007 law</a> which requires that if a retired state government employee goes back to work for the state indirectly as the employee of a third party under contract to the state, he or she can’t collect his or her pension while also getting paid to do state work.
