House Bill 6150 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Sponsor: Representative Steve Tobocman
House Committee: New Economy and Quality of Life
Senate Committee: Economic Development and Regulatory Reform

CONTENT
The bill would create the "Michigan Supply Chain Management Development Commission Act" to establish the 15-member Commission within the Department of Treasury and prescribe its powers and duties. "Supply chain management" would mean an integrated approach to planning, implementing, and controlling the flow of information, materials, and services from raw materials to the distribution of the finished product to the end customer. The Commission would have to "create a road map for attracting, supporting, marketing, and growing the international trade, supply chain, and logistics industries by advising on the development and coordination of state transportation and economic development policies". Based on an inventory of industry needs and State strengths, and an economic multiplier impact analysis, the Commission would have to study and design programs to provide incentives and otherwise support those growth industries through workforce development, recruitment, marketing, tax incentives, and other activities.


Commission members could not be compensated for services as members of the Commission, but the Commission could reimburse each member for expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of his or her duties. State funds could not be used to fund the Commission's operations. The Commission could be funded with private, Federal, or other funds.


The bill specifies the membership and responsibilities of the Commission.
Legislative Analyst: Patrick Affholter

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no fiscal impact on the State as no State funds could be used to fund the operations of the Commission. Under the bill, however, private or Federal funds could be used to fund Commission operations.
