[1]
For the 2013-2014 session,Segal was selected to serve as the Democratic vice chair of the House Insurance Committee and will also serve on the House committees on Health Policy and Michigan Competitiveness. [2] Segal was previously the House Democratic Floor Leader for the 2011-2012 legislative session. [3]
As a State Representative,Segal stated that some of her priorities were to focus on making health care more affordable and accessible to all Michigan residents,creating an environment that is inviting to the businesses that will create good-paying jobs for the workers of Calhoun County,and improving schools to provide Michigan students with a quality education from an early age.

On May 21,2009 the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Bill 4930,a bill sponsored by Segal,which modified Michigan's tax code to create a tax exemption for Duncan Aviation,a Battle Creek company specializing in the interior customization of new aircraft. [10] Without the modification,Duncan Aviation would have transferred more than one hundred jobs from Battle Creek to its sister facility in Nebraska. [11] By working closely with Republican Senator Jason Allen,the legislation was signed by Governor Jennifer Granholm on June 23,2009 and became Public Act 53 of 2009. [12] Public Act 53 of 2009 was Segal's first bill to be passed into law.
During the 2009 Michigan budget negotiations,Segal made the Michigan Youth ChalleNGe Academy (MYCA) one of her top priorities for future funding. The MYCA is a voluntary,quasi-military program run by the National Guard. The program is designed for at-risk youth who have either dropped out of high school or are at risk of dropping out. Segal advocated for full funding of the program throughout the budget process,but applauded the efforts of the bi-partisan School Aid conference committee for providing partial funding,$642,300,in its compromise budget. [13] In an effort to save the MYCA,Segal launched an online petition,hosted a rally at the Capitol, [14] and lobbied her fellow legislators for support.
On November 25,2009,the Michigan Youth ChalleNGe Academy announced that it would remain operational through at least 2010. [15]
