Introduced Text

Michigan HB4725 amends the definition of public employee to exclude student athletes from collective bargaining rights.

Michigan HB4725 amends the definition of public employee to exclude student athletes from collective bargaining rights. This change means that student athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics on behalf of a public university in Michigan are not considered public employees under the act. Consequently, they do not have the right to representation or collective bargaining rights. The bill modifies the existing law to clarify the scope of public employees and their rights.
