House Bill 4412 proposes changes to Michigan's mental health code, primarily affecting procedures for involuntary mental health treatment and hospitalization. It revises the definition of a "person requiring treatment," clarifying criteria for individuals with mental illness who may pose a risk to themselves or others or are unable to meet basic needs. The bill modifies procedures for peace officers taking individuals into protective custody, requiring them to execute a hospitalization petition and ensuring examinations at preadmission screening units. It also updates requirements for psychiatric examinations within 24 hours of hospitalization and alters the testimony rules for hearings to determine if an individual requires treatment. These changes aim to refine the process for assessing, hospitalizing, and treating individuals with severe mental illness.
House Bill 4414 establishes a process to divert individuals charged with misdemeanor offenses who have mental health issues into assisted outpatient treatment. This diversion can be initiated by motion from the prosecuting attorney, defendant, or defense counsel, and requires agreement from all parties to proceed. If diverted, a court can order assisted outpatient treatment for up to 180 days. The misdemeanor charges remain pending but are dismissed after 90 days (or 180 days for serious misdemeanors) once the treatment order is entered, and non-compliance with treatment is handled through civil proceedings.
HB 4394 creates a new permit fee for barbers and cosmetologists to provide services to veterans outside their regular licensed facilities. It amends Michigan's State License Fee Act to establish this specific permit, allowing licensed professionals to offer mobile services for veterans without needing a full facility license. The bill directly affects licensed beauty professionals seeking to serve veterans in non-traditional settings, such as veteran centers or homes. This provision adds a targeted fee structure for these off-site veteran services while maintaining existing licensing requirements.
HB 4702 authorizes the transfer of a specific state-owned property parcel in Peck, Sanilac County, to local governments or others under strict conditions. The Village of Peck has the first right to purchase the land at fair market value for two years, after which the state may sell it via competitive bidding, auction, or negotiated sale to other units of local government. All transfers require the property to be used exclusively for public purposes (like parks, schools, or emergency services), with a clause allowing the state to repurchase it within 30 years at the original sale price. The bill establishes clear rules for appraisals, revenue handling, and public use restrictions to ensure transparency and community benefit.
HB 4395 allows licensed barbers in Michigan to provide hair services at veteran service organizations without needing additional permits. It updates existing barber licensing laws (MCL 339.1117 & 339.1217) to explicitly permit this activity at locations serving veterans. The bill directly affects licensed barbers who may now offer services at these organizations and the veteran service organizations themselves. This change simplifies access to barber services for veterans by removing a previous regulatory barrier. The bill passed the House on June 12, 2025, with strong bipartisan support.
HB 5234 modifies Michigan's vehicle code to change how law enforcement agencies can use fees collected from salvage vehicle inspections. Specifically, it updates Section 217c of the Michigan Vehicle Code (MCL 257.217c) to expand allowable uses for these fee revenues. The bill directly affects local law enforcement agencies that collect these inspection fees, allowing them to allocate funds toward equipment, training, or other operational needs previously restricted. This is a procedural funding adjustment with no new tax or mandate.
This bill would add a new section to Michigan's civil procedure laws that allows the state attorney general and private individuals to sue firearm industry members for creating or maintaining a public nuisance through the sale, manufacture, or marketing of firearms and related products. The legislation requires these companies to establish reasonable controls over their products to prevent sales to prohibited persons, prevent theft, and stop the installation of devices like pistol converters, without needing to prove the company intended to cause harm. If a company violates these requirements, the attorney general can seek injunctions, damages, and other relief, while private victims of harm can also file lawsuits for compensatory and punitive damages. The bill defines firearm industry members broadly to include sellers, manufacturers, and distributors, and explicitly includes 3D printers and other manufacturing equipment in its scope.
This bill prohibits licensed concealed pistol carriers from bringing firearms into specific state buildings and certain public venues, including schools, hospitals, sports arenas, and places of worship. It also bans portable electro-muscular disruption devices in these same locations, with exceptions for parking areas and certain law enforcement personnel. The legislation applies to all licensed individuals except retired police officers, security contractors, private investigators, and other designated law enforcement roles who are permitted to carry weapons on these premises. Violations result in civil fines, license suspensions, or criminal penalties depending on whether it is a first, second, or subsequent offense.
This bill would prohibit the sale, offer for sale, and possession of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds in Michigan starting January 1, 2027. The law applies to all individuals within the state and would classify violations as misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days in jail, a fine of $500, or both. It directly affects gun owners, retailers, and manufacturers by restricting access to high-capacity magazines while allowing magazines with 10 rounds or fewer. The legislation amends Michigan's penal code to establish these new restrictions on ammunition storage and distribution.
This bill amends Michigan's Medical Marihuana Act to clarify definitions and limit the number of medical marijuana plants that can be grown at a single address. It directly affects registered qualifying patients and their designated primary caregivers by establishing stricter rules for plant cultivation and caregiver registration per location. The key provisions include updated definitions for terms like "enclosed, locked facility" and "usable marihuana," while also specifying requirements for physician-patient relationships and caregiver eligibility. The legislation aims to provide clearer guidance on compliance with state medical marijuana regulations without changing the fundamental rights of patients or caregivers under the existing program.
This bill, known as Messiah's Law, creates a new felony offense for intentionally firing a gun at a vehicle the shooter knows or should know is occupied. The law directly affects individuals who commit this act and establishes penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. If a minor is present in the vehicle, the penalties increase to up to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. The legislation amends Michigan's penal code by adding a specific section to address this conduct. The bill would take effect 90 days after being signed into law.
This bill would require sellers to wait at least three days after completing a firearm sale before delivering the weapon to the buyer. It also prohibits sellers from selling firearms to individuals under indictment for a felony or those legally barred from owning guns. The legislation applies to anyone selling firearms in Michigan and carries penalties ranging from misdemeanor fines to felony imprisonment for violations.
