This bill creates a new system for recommending salaries for the heads of Michigan's principal executive departments. It requires both majority and minority party leaders in the state legislature to appoint unpaid panelists who will evaluate department heads on their work quality and cost-effectiveness. These panelists will submit ratings to the House fiscal agency, which will use a specific formula based on those scores and the governor's current salary to calculate recommended pay amounts. The final salary recommendations will be sent to key legislative leaders and the governor for consideration.

HB 6147: Transportation: motor fuel tax; gas tax holiday; provide for. Amends secs. 8 & 152 of 2000 PA 403 (MCL 207.1008 & 207.1152). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6146'26

This bill amends the Michigan Motor Fuel Tax Act to establish a temporary gas tax holiday that activates if the statewide average price of gasoline reaches $5.00 per gallon before the end of 2026. Under this provision, the tax rate would drop to zero cents per gallon for a three-month period, with the lost revenue automatically transferred from a state stabilization fund to the Michigan Transportation Fund. The legislation also updates the general tax rate structure to include annual adjustments based on inflation or a fixed 5% increase, whichever is lower, while maintaining specific rates for fuel held in storage as of the end of 2025. Additionally, the bill clarifies reporting requirements for fuel suppliers and terminals to ensure accurate tracking of blended products and tax liabilities.

HB 6145: Education: school districts; capital outlay funds; allow school districts and intermediate school districts to use. Amends sec. 242 of 1984 PA 431 (MCL 18.1242)

HB 6145 requires school districts and intermediate school districts in Michigan to develop and submit five-year capital outlay plans for facility improvements, including new construction and renovations. These plans must be submitted electronically by November each year and will be evaluated based on factors such as safety needs, occupancy rates, sustainability, and projected operating costs. The bill allows districts to opt into this process, which involves a review by the Department of Treasury and the Joint Committee on Oversight Services before any funding is authorized for final design and construction. By establishing these specific criteria and timelines, the legislation aims to bring greater transparency and oversight to how public school districts plan and request funds for building projects.

HB 6143: Natural resources: Great Lakes; regulations regarding crib docks in the Les Cheneaux Islands; prohibit Amends 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.101 - 324.90106) by adding secs. 32509a & 32509b & provides for a referendum.

This bill proposes changes to Michigan's natural resources laws to allow for the construction of traditional timber crib docks and boathouses in the Les Cheneaux Islands, provided they are built from natural wood and stone and approved by local zoning authorities. Under the new rules, permits would be granted only if these structures do not extend beyond the owner's shoreline or create navigational hazards, while also requiring the state to reject denials based on generalized environmental assumptions without specific evidence. The legislation includes a mandatory referendum in Clark Township, meaning the changes will only take effect if a majority of voters in that area approve them at an upcoming election.

HB 6150: Trade: business regulation; use of an individual's name, likeness, voice, or image for purposes of trade; prohibit under certain circumstances. Creates new act.

This bill establishes new rights in Michigan that allow individuals to own and license their name, likeness, voice, and image as personal property for commercial use. It requires written consent from a living person before their identity can be used for trade, though it includes exceptions for news reporting, artistic criticism, and incidental appearances in media. The law also creates a system where these rights can be transferred or inherited, with specific rules on how long an estate can continue to commercially exploit a deceased person's identity after they pass away. If a business violates these rules, the affected individual can sue for damages, which may include up to three times the actual harm caused or a minimum of $10,000 per violation.

This bill allows the state treasurer to provide interest-free loans to school districts and intermediate school districts if the state budget is not passed by October 1. Under the new rules, a district can borrow an amount equal to what it received from the school aid fund in the previous year for a period of up to one year. The state treasurer retains the authority to set additional terms for these loans, which are intended to help districts manage cash flow during budget delays.
