Brian Calley and Sarah Miller recently provided an analysis of new executive orders on tariffs in the Small Business Briefing. The discussion focused on the impact these orders could have on trade with China, Canada, and Mexico, particularly concerning Michigan's automotive supply chain. They also examined the broader implications for small businesses.
The briefing included federal issues such as the renewed focus on controlling the Panama Canal and changes to CAFE standards, which might affect electric vehicle adoption rates. On a state level, topics like the Earned Sick Time Act, tipped wage credit, and the Corporate Transparency Act were discussed.
An unexpected announcement from Senator Gary Peters regarding his decision not to seek re-election in 2026 was also covered. This development has reshaped the political landscape as potential candidates from both parties consider running for his Senate seat.
The briefing aims to keep Michigan's small business community informed about important developments.
