Michigan HB5812 restricts the state's ability to waive SNAP work requirements without legislative authorization.

Michigan HB5812 amends the state's food assistance law to prohibit the Department of Human Services from seeking, applying for, accepting, or renewing waivers for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) work requirements without specific authorization from the legislature. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state not exercise its option to provide exemptions from the work requirement under federal law. This restriction does not affect exemptions for temporary absence from employment due to good cause.
