HB 5573 expands property tax exemptions for specific nonprofit organizations in Michigan. It adds new exemptions for conservation land held by qualified nonprofit groups (like nature preserves open for public recreation) and clarifies exemptions for nonprofit hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and educational institutions. The bill specifies detailed requirements for organizations to qualify, such as perpetual land preservation for conservation groups and licensing for healthcare facilities. These changes directly affect qualifying nonprofits, conservation organizations, and healthcare providers by allowing them to exclude certain properties from local property taxes. The bill refines existing tax exemption rules without creating new tax rates or funding mechanisms.

HB 5578: Family law: child custody; changing the established custodial environment of a child; expand. Amends secs. 7 & 8 of 1970 PA 91 (722.27 & 722.28).

HB 5578 amends Michigan's Child Custody Act to clarify when courts may change a child's established custodial environment. It specifically allows a change if a parent proves the other parent was convicted of criminal sexual conduct against a minor (or found by clear evidence to have committed nonconsensual sexual penetration of a child) and the nonoffending parent knew of the conviction while permitting the child's access. The bill also protects military parents by requiring courts to ignore a parent's deployment absence in custody decisions, reinstating pre-deployment custody arrangements after return, and limiting temporary custody orders during deployment. Additionally, it tightens appeal standards for custody rulings, requiring courts to show legal error or abuse of discretion - not just factual disagreement - to overturn decisions.

HB 5588: Highways: memorial; portion of Auburn Road in Rochester Hills; designate as the "Sheriff Deputy Brad Reckling Memorial Highway". Amends 2001 PA 142 (MCL 250.1001 - 250.2092) by adding sec. 121.

HB 5588 designates a specific segment of Auburn Road in Rochester Hills (between Adams Road and Rochester Road) as the "Sheriff Deputy Brad Reckling Memorial Highway" under Michigan's Memorial Highway Act. This bill is purely commemorative, naming a public roadway in honor of Sheriff Deputy Brad Reckling. It does not create new policies, funding, or regulations - it only changes the official name of that road segment. The bill was introduced on February 24, 2026, and referred to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

HB 5579: Labor: fair employment practices; use of electronic monitoring or automated decisions tools by an employer; prohibit except for certain purposes. Creates new act.

HB 5579, the "Responsible Artificial Intelligence Security for Employees Act," prohibits most employers from using automated decisions tools (like AI for hiring) or electronic monitoring tools (like tracking software) for employment decisions affecting employees or job applicants. Employers may only use these tools for specific, limited purposes, such as screening large applicant volumes for job skills or monitoring essential work functions, safety, or compliance. The bill requires employers to obtain written consent from workers, provide clear notice of monitoring, ensure data accuracy, and use tools in the least invasive way possible. It directly affects all Michigan employers and their employees/applicants, creating new rules for technology use in the workplace.

HB 5587: State agencies (proposed): other; grants for community violence intervention services; provide for. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5586'26

HB 5587 creates a state grant program to fund community-based violence prevention initiatives in areas with high homicide rates. It establishes a "community violence intervention and prevention fund" to award grants to eligible local governments (e.g., cities or counties with 35+ homicides in 2 of 3 years) or community nonprofits with proven experience addressing violence. Grants must support evidence-based strategies focused on trauma care, economic opportunities, and reducing violence without increasing incarceration, with at least 75% of funds directed to community organizations - not law enforcement. The program requires grantees to report on outcomes and coordinate with other violence prevention efforts, and mandates annual reports on best practices from the administering office.
