The Migrant Labor Housing Advisory Board serves in an advisory capacity to MDARD. It is authorized under Part 124 of the Public Health Code, Agricultural Labor Camps, at MCL 333.12421 and implemented in MDARD's rules. The board ceased meeting years ago. Along with the recently released report on rural housing issues generally, reconstitution of this board is a major step in addressing the needs of rural Michigan. The newly appointed board members are tasked to advise the State of Michigan as to potential changes that will address the needs of this extremely important work force.
