Legislative Priorities
Members Drive Our Pro-business Focus
The Chamber listens carefully to its 7,100 members across the state and turns that input into advocacy and action to lower the costs of doing business. With the force and
resources of the business community behind it, the State Chamber actively advocates for pro-business solutions that foster Michigan’s economic recovery and create jobs for
residents.
On February 1, 2007, the Michigan Chamber announced its legislative priorities for the 2007-2008 legislative session. These priorities were reviewed and approved January 31,
2007 by the Michigan Chamber’s 87-member Board of Directors, which consists of business leaders from throughout the state.
Job providers were directly involved in establishing the Michigan Chamber’s 2007-2008 legislative priorities which address 10 issue areas: education quality; energy;
environmental quality; health care; human resources; lawsuit abuse; school reform; taxes; technology & telecommunications; and transportation.
The Michigan Chamber’s legislative priorities are not intended to be a catalog of the Chamber’s position on every important issue that might come up over the next two years.
Rather, they are intended to communicate to businesspeople, the news media, the legislature and administration what state government’s top legislative and regulatory priorities
should be to encourage job creation and economic growth.
For further information about these legislative priorities, contact the Michigan Chamber's Business Advocacy Department at (517) 371-2100
