For contact information for lawmakers, go to www.mea.org/mylegislators. With inquiries and updates about this tracker, email MEA lobbyists Andy Neumann ([email protected]) or David Michelson ([email protected]). NOTE: The "priority" set for the bills below does not reflect the relative importance of the issue for MEA; rather, they are a tool to help organize the many education and labor bills introduced in the Legislature. "High" priority items are subject to ongoing legislative action or are of significant strategic importance for MEA. "Medium" priority items are the topic of lobbying conversations in Lansing and have potential for upcoming action. "Low" priority items (or those with no priority setting), while on important topics, are bills unlikely to be taken up at this time in Lansing.
