HB 5300: Public employees and officers: other; federal elected officials accountability act; create. Creates new act.

HB 5300 creates Michigan's "federal elected officials accountability act," requiring U.S. Congress members representing Michigan to annually disclose how they voted on federal spending bills. The bill establishes an accountability office within the state treasury to track all federal spending bills, record voting patterns, and compile reports on whether the federal government spent more than it received. If deficit spending occurs, the office identifies officials who voted for relevant bills and triggers a 75% surcharge on their taxable income for two years. This directly affects Michigan's federal lawmakers, mandating public disclosure of their voting records on spending bills and imposing financial penalties for supporting deficit spending.

HB 5286 establishes a formal brownfield redevelopment grant and revolving loan program under Michigan's environmental law. The program provides funding to local governments (counties, cities, townships) for eligible cleanup and redevelopment activities at contaminated properties, including environmental assessments, site remediation, and demolition. Projects must demonstrate measurable economic benefits (like job creation or tax revenue) and environmental benefits (advancing cleanup standards), with grants/loans capped at $2 million per project. Applicants must prove financial capability, show compliance with environmental laws, and avoid being responsible for the site's contamination. The program draws from existing funds like the Clean Michigan Initiative Bond Fund and the State Brownfield Redevelopment Fund.

HB 5297: Economic development: Michigan strategic fund; Michigan strategic fund act; amend to reflect elimination of the strategic outreach and attraction reserve fund, Michigan strategic site readiness program, and critical industry program. Amends sec. 9 of 1984 PA 270 (MCL 125.2009). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5294'25

HB 5297 amends Michigan's Strategic Fund Act to remove references to three discontinued economic development programs: the Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve Fund, the Michigan Strategic Site Readiness Program, and the Critical Industry Program. The bill updates Section 9 of the act to eliminate reporting requirements for these programs in the fund's annual reports to the legislature and public. This change streamlines the fund's reporting process by removing outdated program references from the law. The amendment ensures the Strategic Fund's administrative requirements align with its current program structure.

HB 5292: Corporate income tax: credits; ability to claim certain certificated credits against corporate income tax liability; provide for, and repeal Michigan business tax act. Amends secs. 605 & 680 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.605 & 206.680); adds sec. 670 & repeals 2007 PA 36 (MCL 208.1101 - 208.1519). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5293'25

HB 5292 allows corporations with pre-2012 approved tax credits (for job creation or investment) to claim the remaining unused portion against their corporate income tax liability starting in 2026, spread equally over 10 years. To qualify, businesses must maintain at least 95% of their full-time jobs (35+ hours weekly with payroll taxes withheld) as of September 30, 2025, each tax year. The bill also repeals Michigan’s Business Tax Act (2007 PA 36) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, ending that separate tax system. This directly affects corporations holding unused credits from older economic development programs.

HB 5294: Economic development: other; strategic outreach attraction and reserve fund and related programs; repeal. Amends sec. 2 of 2000 PA 489 (MCL 12.252) & repeals sec. 4 of 2000 PA 489 (MCL 12.254) & secs. 88s & 88t of 1984 PA 270 (MCL 125.2088s & 125.2088t).

HB 5294 repeals specific sections of Michigan law that referenced the "Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve Fund" (created under Section 4 of the Michigan Trust Fund Act, 2000 PA 489) and related provisions in the Michigan Strategic Fund Act (1984 PA 270). This bill does not create or modify any funding programs - it only removes outdated legal references to these provisions. The repeal affects how the law formally describes these funds, but has no direct impact on current funding mechanisms or beneficiaries. As a procedural repeal, it simplifies the legal code by eliminating obsolete references.

HB 5253: Crimes: other; provision related to blasphemy; repeal. Repeals sec. 102 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.102).

HB 5253 repeals Michigan's 1931 blasphemy law (MCL 750.102) from the penal code. This procedural bill removes an outdated statute that criminalized blasphemy, which has not been enforced for decades. The repeal directly affects no current legal proceedings or individuals, as the law was obsolete. It makes no new policy changes but updates the state's legal code by eliminating a historical provision.

HB 5250: Trade: consumer goods and services; sale of certain dietary supplements and diet pills to individuals under the age of 18; prohibit. Creates new act.

HB 5250, titled the "Weight Loss Products and Minors Act," prohibits retailers from selling dietary supplements marketed for weight loss or muscle building and over-the-counter diet pills to anyone under 18. It requires physical store sales to verify age using valid ID (like a driver's license), and online sales to confirm age through approved databases before shipping, with delivery requiring ID proof at time of receipt. The bill directly affects retailers selling these products and minors under 18, creating new requirements for age verification in both physical and virtual transactions. It does not change product safety standards but adds civil penalties for violations, including fines up to $1,000 per violation. The bill is pending in Michigan's Health Policy Committee as of its introduction on November 12, 2025.

HB 5258: Military affairs: generally; Michigan Iraq and Afghanistan veteran recognition certificate; establish, and provide eligibility requirements. Amends sec. 182 of 1967 PA 150 (MCL 32.582).

HB 5258 establishes a new "Iraq and Afghanistan veteran recognition certificate" for Michigan veterans who served honorably in those conflicts. To qualify, veterans must have been Michigan residents (or former residents) during their service, served during active combat periods in Iraq or Afghanistan, and received an honorable discharge. The certificate can be awarded only once per person, and family members may receive it if the veteran has passed away. This bill updates Michigan’s military recognition program to specifically honor veterans of recent conflicts, building on existing provisions for Vietnam War veterans.

HB 5261: Military affairs: other; office of mental health; establish within the Michigan veterans affairs agency. Amends 1967 PA 150 (MCL 32.501 - 32.851) by adding sec. 322. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5270'25

HB 5261 establishes a mental health support program within Michigan's Veterans Affairs Agency. It requires the agency to partner with the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct statewide outreach on mental health resources for service members, veterans, and their families (Section 322(1)(a)), develop materials to help families recognize mental health changes (Section 322(1)(b)), and collect data under the Protecting Veterans Mental Health Act (Section 322(1)(c)). The bill also creates a dedicated family support program for navigating mental health services (Section 322(2)) and allows digital platforms to connect veterans to resources (Section 322(3)), while protecting individual health records from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (Section 322(4)). The bill is contingent on the passage of companion bill HB 5270.

This directly affects veterans' facilities, their employees, and the ombudsman, who gains authority to independently investigate such reports without needing facility approval. The bill mandates that facilities immediately send reports to the ombudsman, who can then interview staff, contractors, or witnesses to probe issues affecting resident veterans’ safety. These changes aim to ensure prompt, impartial reviews of facility conditions that pose health or safety risks to veterans.
