To improve competitiveness with other states, MMA will continue its efforts to ensure Michigan companies are not required to meet regulatory standards that exceed federal law, unless there has been specific legislative approval. Companies in other states do not have to meet these “Michigan only” standards and, to ensure a “level playing field,” we will continue to work with the Legislature and the Governor’s office on this vital issue.

MMA Position: MMA advocates statutory changes that limit administrative rule authority for regulatory agencies.
