But House and Senate leaders made no commitment on Monday to consider the Democratic-backed legislative proposal.
State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, and Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, D-Livonia, were joined by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to announce the most recent attempt to amend the state s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to clearly prohibit discrimination based on a person s sex, including gender identity or sexual orientation.
The issue is ripe for new consideration by the Legislature, either through the bills that Moss and Pohutsky are proposing or if the Fair and Equal Michigan petition initiative makes its way to lawmakers.
The petition s signatures currently are under review by the Michigan Bureau of Elections ahead of potential certification of the ballot initiative.
