When government pursues regulatory, labor, legal, or tax policies that increase the cost of doing business, it diminishes Michigan’s global competitiveness. The Chamber will support policies that emphasize Michigan’s competitive advantages, eliminate its disadvantages, and streamline government processes to grow the state’s economy.
Priority Policies
- Streamline Michigan’s permitting process to ensure certainty in the cost and timeliness of doing business.
- Prevent local governments from setting local labor regulations.
- Maintain competitive payroll tax levels for employers and employees.
- Manage benefits efficiently, engaging private sector solutions to maintain quality and reduce fraud.
