Passed in the House (105 to 2) on June 4, 2009, to revise the designation of which state government bond rates will establish the index on which interest rates are based for money lent by the state to schools for construction projects.

- Did not vote on 2009 House Bill 4094 (Require citizenship and resident preferences in subsidies & tax breaks ). Passed in the House (71 to 36) on March 12, 2009, to prohibit the granting of Transportation Economic Development Fund subsidies unless the beneficiary promises not to hire illegal aliens, to comply in good faith with the legal status verification requirements of federal law, to make a good faith effort to only hire Michigan residents and use Michigan suppliers and vendors on the project, and complies with the state “prevailing wage” law, which prohibits awarding contracts to contractors who submit the lowest bid unless the contractor pays so-called "prevailing wages" based on union pay scales in a particular part of a geographic region, rather than market rates. Violators could have their subsidies revoked and be required to repay all or part of them. An annual Transportation Economic Development Fund report to the legislature and the governor would have to give the number of residents employed by beneficiaries of these subsidies, and the specific reasons for each exemption granted from the proposed state-resident-job requirements.
