HB 6214: Elections: presidential electors; presidential electors who are elected under the agreement among the states to elect the President by national popular vote; clarify. Amends secs. 42, 46 & 842 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.42 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6213'26

This bill clarifies how Michigan would appoint presidential electors if the state joins an agreement to choose the President based on the national popular vote rather than the Electoral College. It requires the state Board of State Canvassers to calculate the total national popular vote for each candidate and designate the winner accordingly, while also reporting these results to other participating states. If a tie occurs for the national popular vote, the bill specifies that Michigan would appoint electors based on which candidate received the most votes within Michigan itself. The legislation updates existing election laws to ensure these procedures are followed and includes requirements for issuing official certificates of appointment.

This bill updates Michigan's vehicle code to clarify definitions for mopeds and establish new licensing requirements for certain electric mobility devices. It specifically requires individuals under 18 to obtain a special restricted license to operate high-powered micromobility devices, such as electric scooters exceeding 500 watts or 20 miles per hour, without mandating a road test. The legislation also adjusts the legal definition of a moped to exclude electric bicycles and clarifies that power-driven mobility devices used by people with disabilities are not considered motor vehicles. Additionally, the bill sets specific fees for these new restricted licenses and outlines penalties for operating these devices without the proper authorization.

SCR 14: A concurrent resolution to approve an extension of the state of energy emergency declared on April 2, 2026.

This bill extends Michigan's state of energy emergency from July 1, 2026, to September 16, 2026, to align with a potential federal waiver allowing more flexible gasoline production. The measure directly affects consumers and businesses by aiming to prevent fuel shortages and price spikes that could occur if stricter fuel regulations were reinstated. By keeping the emergency in effect, the state can continue to relax its own fuel requirements while the federal government addresses supply constraints. The resolution takes effect immediately upon July 1, ensuring there is no gap in the emergency declaration.

SB 792: Economic development: obsolete property and rehabilitation; obsolete property rehabilitation act; modify. Amends secs. 2, 6, 7, 14, 16 & 17 of 2000 PA 146 (MCL 125.2782 et seq.).

SB 792 amends Michigan's "Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act" to clarify definitions and update eligibility for tax exemptions on rehabilitation projects. The bill specifies that "obsolete property" includes blighted, functionally obsolete, or brownfield sites (e.g., industrial buildings converted to residential use), and defines "rehabilitation" to require major improvements (exceeding 10% of property value), excluding minor repairs. It refines criteria for local governments to establish rehabilitation districts, limiting eligibility to areas with economic hardship indicators like low median income or proximity to large cities. This affects property owners and local governments in designated districts by ensuring only substantial rehabilitation projects qualify for tax relief under the updated rules.

SB 793 amends Michigan's industrial facility tax law to clarify key definitions for tax exemption eligibility. It updates terms like "restoration" (major renovations to industrial properties, including structural improvements) and "speculative building" (new structures built without a specific tenant) to better align with current development practices. These changes directly affect local governments, economic development organizations, and businesses seeking tax benefits for industrial property improvements. The bill focuses on making the program's rules clearer without altering the core tax exemption structure.

HB 6153: Health facilities: nursing homes; personal needs allowance for nursing home residents; increase. Amends sec. 106 of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.106) & adds sec. 106d.

This bill proposes to increase the monthly personal needs allowance for residents of Michigan nursing homes from its current level to $90.00. The change directly affects low-income individuals who qualify for state medical assistance and are living in nursing facilities. By amending existing social welfare laws, the legislation ensures that this specific financial support is included in the protected basic maintenance level for eligible patients. The bill does not alter other eligibility requirements, such as income limits or asset thresholds, but updates the specific amount of money residents can keep for personal expenses.

SB 1088: Human services: food assistance; certain data of individuals who receive SNAP benefits; require to be shared with certain governmental agencies. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 10i.

This bill requires Michigan's human services department to share specific data about individuals receiving SNAP benefits with federal agencies and a state task force focused on eliminating fraud. The shared information includes benefit allotment amounts and personal identity details to help prevent duplicate accounts and fraud involving deceased individuals. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department submit quarterly reports to the legislature detailing the number of flagged duplicate accounts, improper payments recovered, and blocked out-of-state transactions. These measures aim to improve the accuracy of benefit distribution and ensure that taxpayer funds are not misused.

HB 6107: Human services: medical services; definition of kickbacks or bribes; modify. Amends sec. 4 of 1977 PA 72 (MCL 400.604).

This bill updates Michigan's Medicaid False Claim Act to clarify what counts as a kickback or bribe. It maintains that offering, soliciting, or accepting payments to refer patients for medical services is a felony punishable by up to four years in prison or a fine of $30,000. The law explicitly excludes government-approved "model arrangements" and "model patient incentives" from being considered illegal kickbacks. This change aims to provide clearer guidance on which financial incentives are permissible under federal and state programs.

It directly affects manufacturers and distributors of specialty fertilizers, soil conditioners, and composted agricultural products by removing specific fee requirements that previously applied to these items. The key provision removes the $0.35 per ton fee for agricultural use fertilizers and the $0.05 per cubic yard fee for agricultural use composted products that make nutrient claims, while maintaining existing registration and water quality protection fees for other fertilizer and soil conditioner products. The bill also clarifies that small packages of 10 pounds or less remain exempt from inspection fees and establishes that out-of-state registrants must maintain a Michigan registered office or pay audit costs.

It clarifies the documentation required to prove a minor's age, expands acceptable proof options to include school records and other documents, and establishes clearer procedures for when permits can be suspended or revoked due to poor school attendance or legal violations. The legislation also sets specific limits on how many hours minors can work during school weeks and non-school weeks, while removing certain older requirements that are no longer in effect. These changes aim to balance the need for youth employment with protections for minors' education and well-being.
