HB 4894: Occupations: residential builders; restrictions on qualifying experience for building inspectors; modify. Amends sec. 207 of 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5207) & adds sec. 1020.

HB 4894 modifies Michigan's Skilled Trades Regulation Act by adding Section 1020 to remove a requirement that building inspector applicants must have completed qualifying experience within the 5 years before applying. This change directly affects individuals seeking registration as building inspectors by allowing them to use qualifying experience earned more than five years prior. The bill's key mechanism eliminates a specific time limit on qualifying experience, making it easier for applicants with older experience to apply. It does not change other licensing fees or standards, only the experience timeline for building inspector registration.

HB 5145: Human services: food assistance; documentation requirements for certain assistance programs; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 10h.

HB 5145 changes documentation requirements for Michigan's public assistance programs, including food assistance. It replaces self-attestation with verifiable documents for applicants to prove identity (e.g., driver's license, birth certificate), income (e.g., pay stub, tax return), and Michigan residency (e.g., utility bill, lease). The bill requires applicants to upload these documents via the MI Bridges online portal before eligibility is determined. It also mandates that the department use alternative verification methods if documents are missing, rather than automatically denying benefits. This bill directly affects individuals applying for or renewing public assistance benefits in Michigan.

It mandates that these professionals must hold a license under Michigan's occupational code, and prohibits unlicensed employees from making medical, financial, or housing decisions for the individuals they serve. The bill also requires transparency by requiring professionals to disclose outside compensation from sources other than the ward's estate and to maintain visitation schedules for wards. These changes take effect two years after the bill's passage.

SB 433: State agencies (existing): health and human services; educational materials regarding health dangers for youth using high-potency THC and cannabis products; require the department to provide. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1509.

SB 433 requires Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services to create and distribute multilingual (English, Spanish, Arabic) informational notices about the health risks of high-potency THC cannabis products and vaping to parents of K-12 students. Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, public and nonpublic schools must provide these notices to parents annually by October 1 and post a link to the department's website on their own sites. The notices must be updated yearly to reflect new health research, and the bill grants immunity from civil liability to schools and state agencies for distributing them. This bill directly affects all Michigan schools and parents of enrolled students, focusing on preventive health education.

The bill bans aggressive collection tactics like wage garnishment for patients qualifying for financial assistance under a healthcare facility's policy, and requires medical debt buyers to follow strict rules, including not using prohibited collection actions and returning debt if a patient qualifies for financial aid.
