HB 5795: Counties: employees and officers; candidates for county office disclosing felony convictions; require. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding sec. 558a.

This bill requires candidates running for specific county offices in Michigan to disclose whether they have ever been convicted of a felony. Directly affecting individuals seeking positions such as county executive, county commissioner, or other county offices, the law mandates that they submit a sworn statement to the county clerk alongside their nomination or filing documents. The affidavit must list any felony convictions, though it excludes crimes that have been expunged, set aside, or pardoned. Additionally, if a candidate is convicted of a felony after initially filing their statement, they must update their disclosure within three business days. The definition of a felony conviction includes any judgment entered by a court, even if sentencing has not yet occurred or an appeal is pending.

SB 902 modifies Michigan's criminal procedure laws by establishing a mandatory supervision fee for individuals placed on probation after a sentence is delayed.

HR 285: A resolution calling on the United States Department of Justice to conduct a full investigation of any person, regardless of political affiliation, mentioned in the Epstein files.

This House resolution calls on the Department of Justice to investigate every individual named in the Epstein files, regardless of their political affiliation. The measure responds to the release of millions of documents and a previous statement by the Acting Attorney General that no further federal prosecutions would occur. It urges the government to distinguish between victims, active participants, and those merely mentioned to ensure accountability for all potential perpetrators. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally requests that the Justice Department take action on this specific matter.
