HB 5886 Summary

• Eliminates subsection (o) of MCL 421.27, which contained provisions establishing a "seasonal employer" designation process and restricting unemployment benefits for seasonal workers between work periods.

• Removes references to "seasonal worker" from the definition of "participating employee" in MCL 421.28b(e), allowing seasonal workers to potentially participate in shared-work unemployment benefit plans.

• Retains all other unemployment compensation provisions in MCL 421.27 and 421.28b, including benefit calculation methods, dependent allowances, and shared-work plan requirements.
