HB 6175: Education: other; alternative academic performance rating and report card system; provide for. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1280h.

This bill requires the Michigan Department of Education to create a new accountability rating system specifically for public schools designated as alternative education campuses by January 1, 2028. These schools include strict discipline academies, dropout recovery programs, adult education sites, and previously approved alternative education campuses. The new ratings, which must be reported separately from regular schools, will prioritize student growth and graduation rates over standard proficiency scores to better reflect the unique needs of these populations. Additionally, the legislation mandates that intervention plans for struggling alternative schools align with the specific goals and evidence-based methods appropriate for their students.

HB 6193: Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; consolidation of certain licensing statutes related to residential mortgages; make conforming changes in the consumer financial services act. Amends secs. 2, 6 & 9 of 1988 PA 161 (MCL 487.2052 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

HB 6193 amends Michigan's Consumer Financial Services Act to consolidate licensing rules for mortgage brokers, lenders, and other financial service providers into a single regulatory framework. The bill establishes two main license types, with a Class II license excluding specific loan servicing activities that are currently regulated under separate acts. It also updates the requirements for surety bonds, setting a minimum amount of $500,000 for most applicants while allowing higher amounts for money transmission services. These changes aim to simplify the licensing process and ensure consistent oversight across various financial activities.

HB 6168: Animals: animal shelters; cross-references to 1969 PA 287 in dog law of 1919; update. Amends sec. 14a of 1919 PA 339 (MCL 287.274a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6167'26

This bill requires officials who issue dog licenses in Michigan to inform owners about the availability of microchipping services at veterinarians and animal shelters. It defines animal control and protection shelters according to existing state laws to ensure consistency in how these facilities are identified. The legislation does not take effect until a companion bill is passed, meaning it currently has no immediate impact on policy.

HB 6158: State management: other; access to certain facilities by federal immigration authorities; regulate. Creates new act.

This bill, titled the Safe Access to Facilities Act, prohibits Michigan state and local government agencies from allowing federal immigration officers into nonpublic areas unless a court issues a judicial warrant. The law specifically targets the conduct of government employees, requiring them to refuse entry to private spaces without a warrant based on probable cause. However, the legislation includes exceptions that allow access without a warrant during criminal investigations, when there is an immediate threat to public safety, or when emergency medical care is needed.

HB 6211: Corrections: jails; certain federal employees certified or recertified as local corrections officers; prohibit. Amends sec. 13 of 2003 PA 125 (MCL 791.543).

This bill prohibits the certification or recertification of certain individuals as local corrections officers in Michigan if they have worked for specific federal immigration agencies between September 1, 2025, and January 20, 2029. The law directly affects people seeking to become local corrections officers on or after January 1, 2005, by adding a new requirement that they must not have been employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during that three-year window. While the bill maintains existing requirements for U.S. citizenship, age, and high school education, it introduces this specific employment restriction to prevent federal immigration workers from transitioning into local correction roles.

HB 6157: Civil rights: public records; regulation of disclosure of certain information; provide for. Creates new act.

This bill, known as the Shielding Information for Lawful and Ethical Disclosure Act, prevents Michigan government agencies from sharing large amounts of personal data with federal immigration officials without specific authorization. It defines "bulk disclosure" as transferring data on multiple people without reviewing each case individually and allows such sharing only if a court order exists, the transfer serves a specific law enforcement purpose, or it is immediately necessary to protect health and safety. The law applies to all state, county, and municipal departments and officers, while giving the state attorney general the power to seek court orders to stop illegal data sharing.

HB 6180: Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; consolidation of certain licensing statutes related to residential mortgages; make conforming changes in the Michigan zoning enabling act. Amends sec. 406 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3406). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

This bill amends Michigan zoning laws to allow cities to deny zoning permits to individuals who owe fines or court costs from administrative hearings. However, it creates an exemption for specific entities, including government housing agencies, financial institutions, and licensed mortgage servicers, preventing these groups from being blocked due to such delinquencies. The legislation also ensures that a permit cannot be denied if the applicant is trying to fix the specific blight issue that originally caused the unpaid fine. This change aims to prevent financial penalties from hindering the ability of regulated lenders and housing authorities to process necessary zoning requests.

HB 6206: Higher education: other; name, image, and likeness contract regulations; provide for. Amends 2020 PA 366 (MCL 390.1731 - 390.1741) by adding sec. 6a.

This bill regulates contracts involving college athletes in Michigan by prohibiting agreements that extend beyond the time a student is eligible to play sports. It specifically bans contracts that require athletes to give up future earnings or rights after their playing career ends, prevents agents from representing athletes on such long-term deals, and mandates that any legal disputes over these contracts be resolved in Michigan courts. Additionally, the law applies to athletes transferring into Michigan schools and declares any contract violating these rules to be invalid.

HB 6174: Animals: animal shelters; cross-references to 1969 PA 287 in 1969 PA 224; update. Amends sec. 1 of 1969 PA 224 (MCL 287.381). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6167'26

HB 6174 updates the definitions within Michigan's law regulating the use of dogs and cats for laboratory research. The bill clarifies who qualifies as an "animal protection shelter," a "dealer," and a "research facility" to ensure consistent application of existing rules. It also specifies which organizations are eligible to receive animals from research facilities before they are euthanized. This legislative change is currently tied to another bill, meaning it will only become effective if both are passed together.

HB 6204: Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; appeals under the revised judicature act of 1961; modify. Amends sec. 2529 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2529). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

HB 6204 amends Michigan's Revised Judicature Act to update the fees that individuals must pay to the clerk of the circuit court when filing various legal documents. The bill establishes specific dollar amounts for filing civil actions, appealing lower court decisions, demanding a jury trial, and handling cases involving child custody or support. It also sets new rates for motions, garnishment writs, and certain court services while outlining how these funds are distributed to county and state treasurers. Additionally, the legislation clarifies circumstances under which these fees can be waived or suspended, such as for indigent parties or public officers acting in their official capacity. This measure is tied to another bill, HB 6177, and will only take effect if that companion legislation is also enacted.

HB 6188: Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; consolidation of certain licensing statutes related to residential mortgages; make conforming changes in 1971 PA 227. Amends sec. 1 of 1971 PA 227 (MCL 445.111). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

HB 6188 amends Michigan's home solicitation sales law to clarify which specific financial transactions are excluded from its regulations. The bill explicitly states that loans, credit extensions, and securities offered by federally insured depository institutions and mortgage lenders are not considered "home solicitation sales." Additionally, it updates the definition of "goods or services" to ensure these financial products remain outside the scope of the act's cooling-off periods and other consumer protections. This legislative change directly affects banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers by confirming that their residential lending activities are governed by separate mortgage licensing statutes rather than the general home solicitation rules. The bill also includes technical corrections to definitions for terms like "business day" and "telephone solicitation" to improve clarity.

HB 6191: Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; consolidation of certain licensing statutes related to residential mortgages; make conforming changes in the uniform securities act (2002). Amends secs. 401 & 402 of 2008 PA 551 (MCL 451.2401 & 451.2402). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

HB 6191 amends Michigan's Uniform Securities Act to clarify and update exemptions from broker-dealer registration requirements. The bill specifically addresses the relationship between the state's securities laws and the Residential Mortgage Licensing and Supervision Act, ensuring that mortgage brokers, lenders, and servicers licensed under the latter are properly recognized as exempt from the former. It also refines rules regarding foreign broker-dealers conducting business with individuals in Michigan and outlines conditions under which agents may operate without separate registration. These changes aim to align the state's securities regulations with current federal standards and existing mortgage licensing frameworks.
