House Roll Call 9: The substitute was not adopted

To replace the previous version of the bill with one which would remove the "opt out" provisions for consortiums of local communities, except for a consortium of communities in western Wayne County. The substitute would also further limit the ability of DARTA to privatize services, and further restrict its ability to reduce the number of existing SMART or DDOT employees. Finally, it would apply a federal law which allows the U.S. Secretary of Labor to regulate the employment arrangements of mass transit systems to all DARTA employees and contractors, rather than only where federal funding is involved.
