SB 798: Health: immunizations; promulgation of certain rules that are more stringent than the requirements for claiming exemption from immunizations; prohibit. Amends sec. 1177 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1177). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0797'26

SB 798 amends Michigan's school immunization law to restrict exemptions from required vaccines. It eliminates the option for parents to claim exemptions based on "other objections" (like personal or philosophical beliefs), allowing exemptions only for religious reasons. This directly affects parents of children entering kindergarten or grade 7 who previously could cite non-religious objections. The bill maintains existing requirements for vision screenings and reporting immunization status to health authorities, but narrows the acceptable exemption categories under school enrollment rules.

SB 797: Health: immunizations; promulgation of certain rules that are more stringent than the requirements for claiming exemption from immunizations; prohibit. Amends sec. 9215 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9215).

SB 797 prevents Michigan's health department from creating stricter rules or requiring specific forms for school immunization exemptions. It protects the existing exemption categories: medical exemptions certified by a physician and religious/philosophical exemptions documented via a written statement. The bill ensures no additional requirements can be imposed beyond what's currently allowed under Michigan law (MCL 333.9215), directly affecting children seeking exemption from school immunization mandates. This is a procedural clarification, not a new policy change.

HR 249: A resolution to amend the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives.

This bill amends House Rules 40 and 52 to change procedural rules for introducing bills and handling appropriations. Rule 40 requires four printed bill copies delivered to the Clerk three hours before session, adds co-sponsor signature rules, and mandates same-day referral to committees. Rule 52 requires disclosure of immigration-related policies for municipalities or universities receiving "legislatively directed spending" (like targeted grants), including written certifications confirming compliance with federal immigration enforcement. These changes directly affect House members introducing bills and local governments/universities seeking specific state funding.

SB 796: Appropriations: supplemental; funding for PFAS mitigation and water safety; provide for. Creates appropriation act.

SB 796 is a funding bill that allocates supplemental state money for fiscal year 2026 to address PFAS contamination in water. It provides direct funding to state agencies responsible for water safety and PFAS mitigation programs, primarily benefiting communities affected by PFAS ("forever chemicals") in drinking water sources. The key mechanism is creating a new appropriation within the state budget specifically for water testing, cleanup, and safety measures related to PFAS. This bill does not create new regulations but ensures dedicated funding for existing water safety efforts targeting PFAS contamination.

HB 4080: Property tax: special assessments; special assessment deferment program; reinstate. Amends secs. 1 & 2 of 1976 PA 225 (MCL 211.761 & 211.762). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4079'25

HB 4080 reinstates a program deferring property tax special assessments for eligible Michigan homestead owners. It applies to assessments due before October 1, 2020, or on/before October 1, 2022, for primary residences owned by qualifying individuals (including those who are totally and permanently disabled). The bill allows owners to defer payments until death, sale, or transfer of the property, with up to four annual partial payments (minimum $500 or 5% of the balance) and interest accruing on unpaid amounts. Full payment becomes due upon sale, transfer, or death, and the bill requires the state to notify owners of these terms. This amendment to Michigan’s 1976 property tax law (MCL 211.761-762) is contingent on HB 4079 passing.

HB 4079: Property tax: special assessments; income eligibility cap for special assessment deferment program; modify. Amends secs. 3 & 4 of 1976 PA 225 (MCL 211.763 & 211.764). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4080'25

HB 4079 adjusts the income limit for homeowners aged 65 or older, or those totally and permanently disabled, who qualify for a property tax deferment on special assessments. Currently set at $34,900 as of October 2022, the bill replaces this fixed amount with an annual adjustment based on the Detroit-area Consumer Price Index (CPI), meaning the limit will rise or fall each year with local inflation. The state treasurer will calculate the new limit annually using the prior year's CPI data, rounding to the nearest dollar. This change directly affects eligible homeowners seeking to defer special assessments on their primary residences without immediate payment.

HB 4402: Health: diseases; dissemination of information about cytomegalovirus (CMV) to certain individuals and in certain situations; provide for. Amends secs. 5431 & 5432 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5431 & 333.5432) & adds sec. 5143.

HB 4402 requires Michigan's health department to create and distribute educational materials about cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus that can cause birth defects. The materials must cover CMV transmission, associated birth defects, diagnosis, prevention, and resources for parents of affected infants, and will target women who may become pregnant, expectant parents, parents of newborns, and healthcare providers. The bill also amends existing newborn screening laws to include CMV testing as part of routine infant screening, with results reported to parents and the health department. These changes aim to improve awareness and early detection of CMV infections during pregnancy and infancy.

HB 4530: Mental health: other; deadline for mental health professionals to release mental health records or information pertinent to child abuse or neglect investigation to the department; modify. Amends sec. 748a of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1748a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4531'25

HB 4530 requires mental health professionals (like therapists and counselors) to share relevant records with child welfare investigators within 7 days when a child abuse or neglect investigation is underway. It overrides standard confidentiality privileges (such as doctor-patient privilege) for these specific records to ensure timely information sharing. The bill also grants legal immunity to professionals who comply in good faith, protecting them from lawsuits unless gross negligence occurs. This change directly affects mental health providers and child welfare caseworkers in Michigan, streamlining access to critical information during investigations.

HB 5035: Civil procedure: civil actions; civil action for making a false representation in assisted reproduction; provide for. Amends 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.101 - 600.9947) by adding sec. 2980. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5036'25

HB 5035 creates a legal remedy for individuals harmed by false claims in assisted reproduction services. It allows patients who gave birth to a child through such services, their spouses at the time, children conceived via the false representation, or gamete donors to sue providers for economic damages, non-financial harm, attorney fees, and punitive damages. The law requires lawsuits to be filed within 3 years of discovering the false representation and specifies that this new cause of action applies alongside existing criminal or civil penalties. The bill directly affects patients, families, and donors involved in assisted reproduction when providers make misleading claims about services or results.

HB 5038: Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guidelines for false representation regarding assisted reproduction; provide for. Amends sec. 16l, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.16l). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5036'25

HB 5038 proposes updating Michigan's sentencing guidelines to specifically address false statements about reproductive health in assisted reproduction cases. It would directly affect individuals convicted of lying regarding fertility, genetic status, or other reproductive health matters when seeking or providing assisted reproductive services. The bill amends existing sentencing rules (MCL 777.16l) to create dedicated guidelines for these offenses, ensuring courts apply consistent penalties. This change would only apply to cases where false representation occurs in a legal context related to assisted reproduction, not general false statements. The bill is currently in committee referral following its introduction on September 24, 2025.
