A great way to be an active member
MITA is constantly fighting for positive changes in the legislature, as well as battling negative legislation on the industry’s behalf. The best way to help in the overall effort of keeping the needs of the industry at the front of legislative minds is to contact them yourself. Establishing working relationships with your legislators is a great way to teach them about the industry while keeping yourself up to date on the legislative process.
We have also provided links to look up who your legislators are, in case you wish to contact them via phone or snail mail, or if you simply want to see what they look like. Click on the appropriate links below to be redirected to the search pages.

Look Up a Bill
Terms in the Michigan Legislature are limited. This means that almost every two years, bills that were introduced and not passed into law get dumped and new bills get introduced, starting with SB 1 and HB 1001, etc. SB stands for Senate Bill and HB stands for House Bill. The House is on two-year terms, and the Senate is on four-year terms. This means House bills get dumped every two years, and Senate bills get dumped every four years. It is sometimes helpful to look up a specific bill so you can read the exact language and how it might impact you, your employees and the industry.
