To repeal the <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2011-HB-4408">2011 law</a> that reduced from 26 weeks to 20 weeks the maximum period a person is eligible for state unemployment benefits. That law was part of a package responding to a $3.8 billion debt this state had had incurred due to borrowing from the federal government to pay-out benefits boosted by higher unemployment and a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2002-HB-5763">2002 law</a> that boosted benefit levels.
