Rep. Steve Frisbie

Maddy summaryThis resolution officially designates June 27, 2025, as National PTSD Awareness Day in Michigan. It encourages Michigan residents to learn about PTSD, reduce stigma, and support those affected - including veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors - while aligning with the existing U.S. Senate observance honoring Staff Sergeant Joe Biel. The bill has no new funding or legal requirements; it is a symbolic gesture to promote awareness and compassion.

Maddy summaryThis resolution urges Michigan county sheriffs and local law enforcement agencies to join 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It encourages these agencies to participate in a federal program that provides training and oversight, allowing designated officers to identify, detain, and process individuals who entered or reentered the U.S. illegally and are arrested for crimes. The resolution states this collaboration aims to enhance public safety by prioritizing the removal of criminal aliens, such as those involved in violence or drug trafficking. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change laws but formally requests local agencies consider these agreements to support federal immigration enforcement.

Maddy summaryHB 4257 defines key terms related to waste management, specifically for anaerobic digestion byproducts (digestate) and their "beneficial use" in agriculture or construction. It creates five distinct categories of beneficial use (e.g., soil application at agronomic rates, road base, or construction fill) with specific environmental safeguards like runoff prevention and groundwater protection. The bill directly affects waste management facilities, farmers, and construction entities handling digestate or ash by clarifying legal standards for its use. These definitions ensure consistent application under existing environmental rules, requiring materials to meet soil-nutrient balance and pollution prevention criteria.

Maddy summaryHB 4265 modifies reporting and compliance rules for facilities using anaerobic digesters, which process organic waste (like food scraps or manure) to create biogas. It updates existing requirements under Michigan's Solid Waste Act (specifically sections 11506 and 11568) to clarify what data these facilities must report to regulators. The bill directly affects waste processing facilities operating anaerobic digesters, requiring them to follow updated reporting standards. This change streamlines regulatory oversight without altering the core function of these systems.

Maddy summaryHB 4246 enacts Michigan's participation in the Nurse Licensure Compact, allowing nurses licensed in Michigan to practice in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses. The compact establishes mutual recognition of nursing licenses across states, facilitating easier interstate practice for registered and licensed practical nurses. It includes mechanisms for sharing information about nurse licensure and disciplinary actions to maintain public safety and consistent practice standards. This bill directly affects nurses seeking to work across state lines and the Michigan Board of Nursing, which will implement the compact's requirements.

Maddy summaryHB 4559, the "Promotion of Governmental Services Act," requires Michigan state agencies and local governments (like counties or cities) to stop using the word "free" when advertising services funded by taxes, fines, or fees. Instead, they must use the phrase "taxpayer funded" in all promotional materials. The bill directly affects how government entities market services such as public libraries, parks, or community programs that cost residents nothing out-of-pocket. This change aims to clarify that these services are supported by public money, not truly cost-free. The bill is currently in committee after being introduced on June 5, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Michigan's budget rules (Article IX, Section 28), directly affecting how the state sets annual spending limits. It replaces current spending caps with a new formula tying budget growth to inflation, population changes, and voter-approved revenue increases. Any state revenue exceeding this calculated limit must be refunded to taxpayers via law. The amendment modifies how the legislature calculates yearly spending authority, requiring excess funds to flow back to citizens rather than remaining in the state budget.

Maddy summaryHB 4267 designates a specific segment of M-6 in Kent County (from Kalamazoo Avenue east to 60th Street) as the "Keagan Spencer Memorial Highway" under Michigan's Memorial Highway Act. This bill is purely a naming designation with no policy changes or direct impact on legislation, regulations, or affected populations. It amends the existing highway act to formally recognize this roadway section in honor of Keagan Spencer. The bill passed unanimously in the Michigan House on May 20, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 4203 amends Michigan's Vehicle Code to revise exemptions for tow trucks, wreckers, and road service vehicles from seasonal weight restrictions on state highways. The bill allows these vehicles to operate during restricted periods (typically winter months) when responding to emergencies or providing essential roadside assistance. This change directly affects towing and road service companies by permitting them to operate under weight limits they previously could not during certain seasons. The amendment applies specifically to vehicles performing emergency response or required road service functions.

Maddy summaryHB 4145 designates a specific 1-mile segment of US-127 in Jackson County (between mile markers 39 and 40) as the "2nd Lt. Roosevelt Stiger Memorial Highway." This procedural bill amends Michigan's Memorial Highway Act to add this designation, honoring 2nd Lieutenant Roosevelt Stiger, a military veteran. The highway segment itself is the direct subject of the naming change, with no new policies or funding mechanisms involved. The bill passed unanimously in the Michigan House on May 20, 2025.
