HR 227: A resolution to urge the United States House of Representatives to investigate allegations concerning Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s authorization of military actions resulting in the deaths of civilians in international waters and, should the evidence support these allegations, to introduce and adopt articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

This resolution (HR 227) urges the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate allegations that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth authorized military actions in the Caribbean Sea that killed at least one unarmed civilian fisherman, with no public evidence the individual was a combatant. If evidence supports these allegations, it calls for the House to introduce and adopt articles of impeachment against Hegseth for potential violations of federal law, international humanitarian law, and the Constitution. The resolution references the War Powers Resolution, the War Crimes Act, and the Geneva Conventions to frame the alleged misconduct. It does not create new law but formally requests the House take specific action. (Procedural resolution; summary limited to 2 sentences as instructed.)

SB 738: Housing: other; Michigan fair chance access to housing act; create. Creates new act.

SB 738, the "Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act," prohibits landlords from asking about or denying rental applications based solely on an applicant's criminal record before issuing a conditional offer. It directly affects renters with criminal histories and requires landlords to provide written notice about criminal record screening before collecting application fees. Key provisions include banning pre-offer inquiries into criminal history (except for federal requirements), allowing landlords to consider only specific serious offenses (like arson, human trafficking, or recent sex offenses requiring registration) after a conditional offer, and mandating an individualized assessment with mitigating evidence for denials. Landlords must also disclose if criminal records are part of their screening process.

SB 754 requires Michigan state agencies to submit written plans within 60 days after completing an audit to address audit recommendations. It also mandates that agency heads report serious problems (like fraud or major deficiencies) to department heads within 60 days, who must then submit correction plans to the state budget director. If agencies fail to submit these plans, the state budget director must notify relevant legislative committees, oversight bodies, and the auditor general. The bill directly affects all state agencies and their leadership by creating clear timelines and accountability mechanisms for addressing audit findings and serious operational issues.

HB 4425: Corporate income tax: other; sustainable aviation fuel incentive program; create. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4424'25

House Bill 4425 creates the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Incentive Program in Michigan. This program aims to encourage companies to produce or blend sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) within the state by offering corporate income tax credits. The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) will administer the program, certifying SAF that meets specific criteria, including source materials, technical standards, and a minimum 50% reduction in life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional jet fuel. The bill sets an annual cap on the total amount of tax credits approved, starting at $4.5 million for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and increasing to $9 million annually thereafter.

House Bill 4424 proposes a new corporate income tax credit for businesses that produce or blend sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) within Michigan. Qualified taxpayers can claim a credit of $1.50 per gallon for SAF produced or blended in the state and sold for use in aircraft departing from Michigan airports. This credit can increase up to $2.00 per gallon based on the SAF's life-cycle greenhouse gas emission reductions. If the credit amount exceeds a company's tax liability, the difference will be refunded.

HB 5256: Individual income tax: deductions; deduction for certain physical facility services; provide for. Amends sec. 30 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.30).

HB 5256 amends Michigan's income tax code to adjust deductions for retirement and pension benefits. It expands the deduction for benefits received from public retirement systems (including federal, Michigan, or other states' systems with reciprocal treatment) and updates the annual cap for non-federal retirement benefits to $42,240 for single filers and $84,480 for joint filers. The bill also requires annual adjustments to these caps based on the Consumer Price Index. This directly affects Michigan taxpayers claiming these specific retirement deductions when calculating taxable income.

HB 5349: Health: immunizations; exemptions to immunization requirements; modify to require the use of forms created by the department. Amends sec. 9215 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9215).

HB 5349 requires Michigan's Department of Health to create standardized forms for two types of school immunization exemptions. Medical exemptions (for health reasons) must include details like the vaccine type, reason for exemption, and expiration date. Non-medical exemptions (for religious or other objections) must include education about vaccine benefits and risks, require in-person form pickup from a health department, and include witnessed signatures. This bill directly affects parents seeking exemptions, schools requiring immunization records, and local health departments distributing the forms.

HB 5344: Education: health related; reporting of vaccination rates of pupils; require. Amends sec. 1177 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1177).

HB 5344 amends Michigan's school code to update how public schools report student vaccination rates. It requires schools to submit annual immunization status reports to health officials by November 1 and February 1, including vision screening data for kindergarten students. Starting in 2028, schools must provide de-identified, aggregated data showing vaccination rates (fully/partially immunized and waiver percentages) and share each student's vaccination status with parents via mail, email, website links, and physical notices in school offices. The bill focuses on transparency and data collection for public health monitoring, without changing vaccination requirements.

HB 5348: Education: other; exemptions to immunization requirements; modify to require the use of forms created by the department of health and human services. Amends sec. 1177 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1177). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5349'25

HB 5348 requires Michigan schools to use standardized forms created by the Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) for documenting student immunization records and exemptions. It affects public and nonpublic schools enrolling new students or those entering grade 7, as well as parents submitting exemption forms. The bill modifies existing requirements by mandating that all immunization documentation, including medical contraindication forms and religious exemption statements, must use MDHHS-approved templates instead of current forms. This change standardizes reporting to ensure consistency in tracking student immunization status across all schools. The policy does not alter vaccination requirements but updates the administrative process for submitting compliance documentation.

HB 5350: Health: local health departments; report regarding immunization levels and exemptions; require local health officer to submit to local governing entity. Amends sec. 9209 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9209).

HB 5350 requires local health departments to annually report school immunization rates and exemption data to local governing bodies (like city councils). Starting June 1, 2028, health officers must submit detailed, de-identified reports showing overall vaccination levels, medical and non-medical exemption percentages, and list schools with over 5% exemptions along with plans to reduce them. This directly affects schools, health departments, and local governments by increasing transparency around vaccination coverage. The bill amends existing law to strengthen accountability for immunization compliance without changing exemption rules themselves.

HR 226: A resolution to urge the United States Department of Education to reject the recommended definition of “professional degree” and instead adopt a more accurate and consistent definition.

This resolution urges the U.S. Department of Education to reject a proposed definition of "professional degree" that would exclude many health care education programs from federal student loan eligibility. It specifically targets programs like physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, social work, and physician assistant studies - classified under CIP Code 51 - which would lose access to loans under the current proposal. The bill requests the Department instead adopt a definition based on required practice credentials, not program length or historical classification, to maintain consistent eligibility. This change aims to prevent worsening health care workforce shortages, particularly in rural and underserved communities.

HB 5337: Traffic control: traffic regulation; authorized agent of county road commission; allow to carry firearm under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 726c of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.726c).

HB 5337 amends Michigan's Vehicle Code to allow county road commission agents who are licensed or certified as police officers under state law to carry firearms while enforcing specific traffic regulations. Currently, such agents are prohibited from carrying weapons during enforcement unless they hold police certification. The bill directly affects county road commission employees who enforce traffic laws (sections 215, 255, 631(1), 717, 719, 719a, 720, 722, 724, 725, and 726). It changes the existing rule by permitting firearm carry only for agents meeting police certification standards, not broadly expanding the ability to carry weapons.
