Although this issue continues to be highly challenging, the Coalition and Governmental Consultant Services, Inc. [GCSI] are hard at work highlighting the severity of our situation to both the Legislature and to the Executive. We are now aware of an existing bill draft that would address our concerns and we anticipate bill introduction by mid-December, with a committee hearing shortly after. Thank you all for your willingness to participate when we had planned on the last bill hearing that did not come to fruition in October. The reality is that some stakeholder groups want to make this an auto no-fault issue and tie it to other unrelated challenges in the no-fault space. We continue to identify that this is a commercial transportation issue, a small business issue. That message is resonating and we are gaining momentum with the Legislature.

Please, if possible, reach out to your House and Senate Members directly and tell them about this challenge! Please let them know that GCSI and the Passenger Transportation Coalition are actively working on a fix, and to contact Samantha Zandee at GCSI to get even more information. We will keep pushing and fighting for our industry, and we need your help alongside us! You can find your State House Representative at Michigan House - Home Page<https://house.mi.gov/#findarepresentative>, and your Senate Member at  Find Your Senator (michigan.gov)<https://www.senate.michigan.gov/fysbyaddress.html>. If you do reach out, please let us know how it went and who you reached out to. This will help us coordinate our efforts and identify those that are willing to fight for our industry.

Thank you for your participation in this Coalition. If you are willing to put time and/or financial support behind our efforts, please reach out to Sean Duval at 734-531-7882 or Chad Cushman at 989-277-8047.
