The Michigan Legislature is expected to wrap up this week, so this bill could move very quickly.

Visit the Michigan Legislature web site for a full contact list for the Senators, or click here to find the contact information for your State Senator. When contacting them, be sure to mention you are a Michigan resident (or constituent when contacting your Senator).
