The bill was not voted on during this past weeks session. ACEC is pushing hard for a vote during next week's session. The Legislature will likely only be in session for one more week. If we do not get a vote on the House floor, the bill will die at the end of the session.

If you have not done so, please contact your House representative, and encourage him/her to contact House Speaker Andy Dillon to allow the bill a vote on the House Floor.

  
Passage of Senate Bill 865 will:
   - Protect the design industry from stale claims
   - Reduce the costs to the engineering community associated with increased risks
   - Put Michigan's statute in line with other states throughout the country
   - Encourage firms to locate and practice in Michigan
