Michigan Administrative Code Department - Labor and Economic Opportunity
Here’s a refined overview of the Michigan Administrative Code sections under the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO), including how it’s organized and where to find the rules:
🏛️ 1. Department Overview
The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) is a principal state department overseeing unemployment insurance, workforce development, affordable housing, business expansion, and labor relations. It was renamed from a previous department in 2019 via Executive Order 2019‑13. Its director is Susan Corbin (en.wikipedia.org).
📚 2. Administrative Code Structure
The Michigan Administrative Code (MAC) is organized by department and bureau. Within LEO, the key bureaus/agencies with their own rule sets include:
Unemployment Insurance Agency – Employment Security (e.g., R 421.1–R 421.302) (law.cornell.edu)
MIOSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) – Numerous parts covering all‑industry & construction standards (R 408.xxx series) (ars.apps.lara.state.mi.us)
Wage & Hour Division – Rules covering payment of wages, fringe benefits, etc. (regulations.justia.com)
Michigan State Housing Development Authority – General rules (R 125.101–R 125.224) (ars.apps.lara.state.mi.us)
Other LEO bureaus found via official MAC search index for various programs (e.g., Blind Persons, Rehabilitation Services, Postsecondary Schools) (regulations.justia.com)
🔎 3. Accessing These Rules
Use the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules (MOAHR) online MAC browser to filter by department = Labor and Economic Opportunity and bureau (ars.apps.lara.state.mi.us).
Alternatively, many MAC sections are mirrored on:
Justia Regulations for department-wide lists (michigan.gov, regulations.justia.com)
LII (Cornell) for individual bureaus (e.g., unemployment, MIOSHA) (law.cornell.edu)
These tools let you view rule text, parts (e.g., R 408.10001–408.10098 for MIOSHA general provisions), history, and PDF/HTML downloads.
🛠️ 4. Practical Tips
Updates: Rules become effective on the date listed; the online database is kept current but always double-check official effective dates (ars.apps.lara.state.mi.us).
Finding specific rules: Drill down by bureau and part numbers (e.g., “R 408.15001” for MIOSHA electrical telecom standards).
History notes: Each section shows origin, amendments, and effective dates.
Official source: The MAC is authoritative; third-party sites (Justia, Cornell) may lag—verify via MOAHR or LEO.
✅ Summary
LEO encompasses bureaus like unemployment insurance, MIOSHA, wage & hour, housing, among others.
The MAC is structured by department → bureau → rule numbers.
The most reliable access is via the state’s MOAHR MAC portal, supplemented by Justia or Cornell for browsing and downloads.
