SB 997: Sales tax: collections; credit for trade-in vehicles; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1933 PA 167 (MCL 205.51). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0998'26

This bill amends Michigan's General Sales Tax Act to modify how sales tax is calculated on vehicle trade-ins. It updates the rules for determining the tax credit allowed when a customer uses an old vehicle to pay for a new one, ensuring the credit is based on the agreed-upon value of the trade-in rather than a fixed dollar limit. The changes apply to dealers selling new or used motor vehicles and recreational vehicles, requiring them to separately state the trade-in value on invoices to qualify for the tax credit. By clarifying these provisions, the legislation aims to standardize the process for calculating sales tax on vehicle purchases involving trade-ins.

HR 325: A resolution urging President Trump, the Internal Revenue Service, and all parties to the settlement agreement creating the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to rescind the agreement.

This House resolution urges President Trump, the IRS, and other parties to cancel a settlement agreement that established the "Anti-Weaponization Fund." The bill directly addresses the use of taxpayer money to fund individuals convicted of crimes related to the January 6 Capitol attack, including those linked to extremist groups. It calls for the rescission of the agreement, arguing that public funds should not support those who engaged in political violence or attempted to overturn election results. The resolution is a formal statement of opposition rather than a law that immediately changes policy.

SB 1008: Probate: guardians and conservators; provision for supported decision-making agreements; create. Amends sec. 5303 of 1998 PA 386 (MCL 700.5303).

This bill amends Michigan's Estates and Protected Individuals Code to require courts to inform families about alternatives to full guardianship before a petition is filed. These alternatives include limited guardianship, conservatorships, and supported decision-making, which is defined as a process where friends, family, and professionals help individuals understand their options so they can make their own choices. Additionally, the legislation mandates that a guardian ad litem must be appointed to represent the individual during incapacity hearings unless they already have their own legal counsel. The changes directly affect individuals facing incapacity proceedings and the family members or interested parties who petition for guardianship.

SB 770: Food: milk; definition of pasteurized milk ordinance; update. Amends sec. 6 of 2001 PA 266 (MCL 288.476).

SB 770 updates Michigan's definition of "Pasteurized Milk Ordinance" (PMO) to reference the current 2023 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services revision instead of the prior 2017 version. This technical correction aligns Michigan's dairy law with the most recent federal standards for pasteurized milk safety. The bill does not create new requirements or directly affect specific groups - it simply ensures the law references the current PMO version used by federal regulators. This is a procedural update to existing definitions, not a substantive policy change.

HB 4004: Gaming: lottery; multistate lottery games; allow winner to remain anonymous. Amends sec. 25 of 1972 PA 239 (MCL 432.25).

HB 4004 allows Michigan lottery winners of prizes over $10,000 to keep their personal information private. The bill amends the lottery law to require the state lottery bureau to withhold winners' names, addresses, and other personal details from public disclosure without the winner's written consent. This applies to both regular Michigan lottery games and multistate lottery games, protecting winners' privacy after a significant win. The change ensures winners can choose anonymity, aligning with existing privacy standards for large prizes.

HB 5107: Marihuana: penalties and remedies; marihuana for personal use and possession; modify allowable amounts of. Amends secs. 5 & 15 of 2018 IL 1 (MCL 333.27955 & 333.27965). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5105'25

HB 5107 amends Michigan's marijuana laws to adjust possession and cultivation limits for adults 21+ and modify penalties for exceeding those limits. It increases personal possession from 2.5 ounces to 10 ounces at home, allows up to 12 plants for personal cultivation, and permits 2.5 ounces of concentrate. For minor excesses (e.g., possessing 2-5 ounces instead of 2.5 ounces), the bill changes penalties from criminal charges to civil fines (up to $500 for second offenses), avoiding jail time for first-time violations. The changes apply directly to Michigan residents 21+ who use or cultivate marijuana within the new limits.

HB 5105: Crimes: penalties; penalties regarding certain crimes involving marihuana; modify. Amends sec. 7401 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.7401). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5107'25

HB 5105 modifies Michigan's sentencing rules for marijuana possession offenses under the Public Health Code. It lowers penalties for most possession amounts, reclassifying some as misdemeanors (e.g., 1-5 kilograms or 50-100 plants becomes a misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail or a $20,000 fine). For larger amounts, it reduces maximum prison terms (e.g., 45+ kilograms now carries a max 10-year felony instead of 15 years). The bill directly affects individuals convicted of marijuana offenses under current law, altering sentencing based on quantity. It is pending in committee after introduction on October 22, 2025.
