2013 House Bill 4742

Repeal ban on benefits for government worker “domestic partner”

Introduced in the House

May 16, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Adam Zemke (D-55)

To repeal a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2011-HB-4770">2011 law</a> that banned public schools, colleges and universities, and local governments from providing medical benefits for the unmarried “domestic partner” of an employee. That law also applied to state employees, but the state Supreme Court ruled only the state Civil Service Commission has the authority to decide whether state employees can be offered such benefits.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
