Not completely, but under Michigan SB 1158 (Department of human services budget) A line has been added:
Sec. 292. The department shall not expend money appropriated in part 1 for the processing, distribution, transfer, or dispersal of any money equivalent to or representing union dues for any contract to which the state is not a party.
Bang.
You see, in the language leading up to section 292, the budget describes paying the "private agencies" and organizations directly, yet with this addition, it makes it clear that the state of Michigan will NOT be collecting union dues from private providers who found themselves saddled with the mysterious "Michigan home based child care council" Which had its funding stripped in Sec 291.
