SB 519; Community and Worker Economic Transition Act

Safeguards workers or communities by creating the Office of Worker and Community Economic Transition, an office to protect workers and communities who have hosted fossil generation during the ongoing energy transition.

Housed within the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO), this office will lead efforts to develop a statewide plan for upcoming advancements into high-tech EV manufacturing and clean energy opportunities. The office will help build a more resilient state workforce by helping workers access high-quality jobs and providing employers with proactive direction to funding and resources to retool their equipment and train their employees to keep up with the evolving demand for electric vehicles and clean energy technologies.
