#56 MIGRANT AND SEASONAL WORKER TRANSPORTATION

Under the current Migrant and Seasonal Workers Protection Act (MSWPA), it is being interpreted that employers are responsible for employee's vehicles (safety, licensing, insurance and valid driver's license) if the vehicle is used to travel to and from the work sites during employment hours.

We support legislation or a rule change to take the language "or causes to be used" out of the vehicle safety obligations section of the MSWPA (Section 500.100a).

We also support clarification in the Michigan Motor Vehicle Code to recognize the license of a seasonal migrant worker, which was issued by their state of residence.
