SB 757: Communications: social media; addictive feeds for minors by social media platforms; prohibit. Creates new act.

SB 757, the "Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation for Kids Act," prohibits social media platforms from showing users under 18 an "addictive feed" (content recommended based on their data) without parental consent or verified knowledge the user is not a minor. It directly affects social media companies operating platforms with addictive feeds as a core feature, requiring them to obtain verifiable parental consent for minors or confirm non-minor status. Key provisions include banning notifications about addictive feeds to minors between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and during weekday school hours, restricting how age data is used, and imposing $5,000 fines per violation for noncompliance. The bill focuses on restricting algorithmic content delivery to minors, not banning social media use.

SB 758: Communications: internet; Michigan kids code act; create. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0759'25

SB 758, the "Kids Code Act," establishes new rules for online platforms to protect children's safety and privacy. It prohibits major online services (with $25M+ annual revenue or 50k+ Michigan users) from using addictive design features like infinite scroll, auto-playing videos, or gamification that encourage excessive use by minors. The law requires platforms to verify a user's age when they have actual knowledge they are under 13 and restricts how they collect biometric data or use "dark patterns" that manipulate children. It directly affects large social media and app companies operating in Michigan with significant child users, while excluding platforms where over 98% of users are adults.

SB 759: Consumer protection: privacy; Michigan consumer protection act; amend to include violation of kids code act as violation. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903).

SB 759 amends Michigan's Consumer Protection Act to explicitly treat violations of the Kids Code Act (which protects children's online privacy) as violations of the main consumer protection law. This means companies that break rules about collecting or using children's data under the Kids Code Act would also face enforcement actions under the Consumer Protection Act. The key mechanism adds a new provision (section 3(dd)) to the Consumer Protection Act, linking Kids Code violations directly to existing consumer protection penalties. This bill primarily affects businesses operating in Michigan that handle children's personal information online, making compliance with both laws essential. The bill was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the Finance, Insurance, and Consumer Protection committee.

SB 760: Trade: business regulation; availability of companion chatbots to minors; prohibit. Creates new act.

SB 760, the "Leading Ethical AI Development for Kids Act," prohibits operators of companion chatbots from making these AI systems available to minors (under 18) if they could encourage self-harm, unsafe behavior, or harmful interactions like sexual content. The bill specifically bans chatbots that simulate emotional relationships by retaining personal data, asking unsolicited emotional questions, or prioritizing user validation over safety. Operators face $25,000 fines per violation and can be sued by harmed minors or their guardians for damages. This applies to business-owned chatbots designed for ongoing emotional engagement - not customer service or internal tools - and takes effect in 2027.

This House Resolution officially designates the week of April 18-25, 2026, as Lineman Appreciation Week in Michigan to honor electrical lineworkers. The measure recognizes the vital role these professionals play in maintaining the state's power grid and responding to emergencies, while acknowledging the hazardous conditions they face. By adopting this resolution, the legislative body aims to publicly express gratitude for the dedication and sacrifice of linemen who keep essential services running for communities across the state.

SR 114: A resolution to recognize April 28, 2026, as Workers’ Memorial Day.

Senate Resolution 114 designates April 28, 2026, as Workers' Memorial Day to honor Michigan workers who have died or been injured on the job. This symbolic resolution acknowledges the annual toll of workplace accidents and occupational diseases in the state. While it calls for increased workplace safety standards and fair compensation, it does not create new laws or alter existing regulations.

HB 5715: Military affairs: other; direct deposit for compensation of Michigan national guard members; provide for. Amends sec. 6 of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.476).

This bill requires the Michigan National Guard to pay all servicemembers their compensation through direct deposit or electronic transfer starting with their first eligible pay period. The legislation amends existing state wage payment laws to mandate this specific payment method for National Guard members, who must provide the necessary banking information to enable the transfers. While the bill maintains existing protections for other employees regarding payroll debit cards and direct deposit consent, it creates a special provision that applies exclusively to the National Guard without requiring individual opt-in consent from each servicemember. This change ensures consistent electronic payment processing for military compensation while preserving the broader legal framework governing wage payments for other Michigan employees.

HB 5619 allocates funding to Michigan's state departments, courts, and the legislature for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. It combines budget allocations for multiple agencies into a single bill, setting specific spending conditions for each recipient. The bill requires all funds to be used according to these defined rules to ensure proper budget management. This legislation directly affects how state agencies plan and spend their allocated resources during the upcoming fiscal year.

HB 5302: Health: substance use disorder prevention; competitive grant program to provide grants for recovery community organizations; modify. Amends sec. 273b of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1273b).

HB 5302 creates a $5 million annual competitive grant program for recovery community organizations in Michigan to expand services for people seeking long-term recovery from substance use disorders. The bill requires the state to fund at least 19 certified local recovery groups and qualifying nonprofit associations, with each grant capped at $250,000 (or 50% of an organization’s operating budget). Priority goes to groups offering specific services like recovery navigation, workplace education, and wellness activities (e.g., support groups, nutrition programs). Grantees must report annually on fund usage, participant metrics, and budget details starting in 2027, with the program set to expire on October 1, 2031.

SR 7: A resolution to recognize February 11, 2025, as the United Auto Workers’ (UAW) White Shirt Day.

This Senate Resolution (SR 7) is a ceremonial recognition, not a law. It formally designates February 11, 2025, as "UAW White Shirt Day" to commemorate the 88th anniversary of the UAW's first contract with General Motors and honor the tradition started in 1948 where UAW members wear white shirts to symbolize equal respect for blue-collar workers. The resolution expresses the Senate's appreciation for the UAW's contributions to Michigan's workforce and economy. It has no legal effect or direct impact on any individuals or policies.

HB 4902: Health occupations: counselors; limited license option for certain counselors; eliminate. Repeals sec. 18109 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.18109).

HB 4902 repeals a specific provision (MCL 333.18109) from Michigan's Public Health Code that previously allowed certain counselors to obtain a limited license. This change eliminates an existing pathway for counselors to practice under a restricted license. The bill directly affects counselors who might have qualified for this limited license option under the repealed law. The action removes this specific licensing mechanism from state law without creating new requirements or benefits.
