HB 5500 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Administrative procedure: other; requirement to provide basis for decisions; provide for. Amends 1969 PA 306 (MCL 24.201 - 24.328) by adding sec. 110.

HB 5500 requires Michigan state agencies to cite the specific law they are using when making written decisions about licenses. This directly affects license applicants and businesses seeking state permits, as agencies must now clearly state the legal basis for rejections or approvals. The bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act to add this requirement, ensuring agency decisions include direct references to applicable statutes. It is a procedural change focused on transparency, not altering substantive licensing rules.
