Maddy summaryHB 4709 prohibits the construction of commercial wind turbines for electricity production in the Great Lakes or their connecting waters, and bans operating any such turbines built in violation of this rule. It directly affects commercial wind energy developers planning projects in these waters, preventing new installations. The bill also states that renewable energy credits cannot be issued for electricity generated by prohibited turbines, and allows the attorney general to seek court injunctions to stop violations. This amendment adds a specific environmental protection measure to Michigan's Clean Energy Act.

Maddy summaryThis bill (HB 4182) amends Michigan's use tax law to add a new exemption for motor fuel sales. It specifically creates a new section (4gg) in the law to exempt certain motor fuel transactions from use tax. The bill directly affects businesses selling motor fuel, potentially reducing their tax burden on qualifying sales. However, the provided context does not specify the exact scope of the exemption or who qualifies for it, so the summary cannot detail the precise mechanisms or affected parties beyond the general tax exemption for motor fuel.

Maddy summaryHB 4180 removes the sales tax requirement for motor fuel sales in Michigan by amending the state tax code. It directly affects gas stations and fuel retailers by exempting motor fuel transactions from the standard sales tax. The bill creates a new tax exemption provision (Section 4gg) in the tax code, specifically excluding motor fuel sales from taxable transactions. This change became effective immediately upon the Governor's approval on October 7, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 4181 removes a sales tax exemption for certain motor fuel purchases by amending Michigan's 2004 tax code (MCL 205.173 & 205.175). The bill directly affects businesses and consumers purchasing motor fuel by eliminating an existing tax exemption, meaning these purchases will now be subject to sales tax. It streamlines the tax code by clarifying that motor fuel is no longer exempt from sales tax under the specified sections. The bill was enacted on October 7, 2025, and is now law as Public Act 18 of 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 4183 increases the motor fuel tax rate and expands the types of fuels subject to the tax under Michigan law. It directly affects motor fuel sellers (like gas stations) and consumers through higher costs for gasoline and other taxed fuels. The bill amends Section 8 of the 2000 Motor Fuel Tax Act (MCL 207.1008) to implement these changes, which became law immediately upon approval by the Governor on October 7, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 4107 requires Michigan schools to include specific health education content for students in grades 7-12. It mandates instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), automated external defibrillator (AED) use, and first aid response kits (including tourniquets and bleeding control supplies) as part of the health curriculum. Schools may use trained personnel like Red Cross instructors, EMTs, or properly trained teachers to deliver this instruction, with hands-on practice encouraged but not required for all students. The bill exempts 100% online schools from requiring hands-on CPR practice.

Maddy summaryHB 5048 creates special vehicle registration plates in Michigan for specific military service groups. It allows eligible veterans, survivors, and family members to apply for plates featuring unique identifiers: "EX-POW" for prisoners of war or spouses, "WWI" for World War I/Cold War veterans (defined as 1945-1991), "Pearl Harbor survivor," "Purple Heart" with medal vignette, "Gold Star Family" (for families of fallen service members), and "Blue Star Family" (for families of currently serving members). Applicants must provide proof of eligibility to the Secretary of State, with no application or renewal fees required. These plates are displayed on vehicles and expire annually, with standard registration taxes applying except for the "EX-POW" plate for one vehicle per household.

Maddy summaryHB 4664 prohibits blocking state highways during assemblies of individuals, amending Michigan's existing traffic law (MCL 257.676b). It directly affects protesters or assembly participants who obstruct highway traffic, making such obstruction a misdemeanor offense. The key provision adds a specific penalty for blocking highways while engaging in group assemblies, moving beyond general traffic violations. This law clarifies that highway obstruction during protests is a criminal act, not merely a traffic infraction.

Maddy summaryHB 4846 creates a new, faster process for property owners to remove squatters (unlawful occupants) from residential properties without a court hearing. Owners or their agents must submit a verified complaint to the sheriff detailing that the occupant is not a tenant, family member, or owner and has been asked to leave. The sheriff then serves an immediate notice to vacate, removes occupants (possibly arresting them for trespass), and allows owners to change locks with sheriff assistance (at owner cost). Wrongfully removed occupants can sue for triple the fair market rent of the dwelling, plus attorney fees, with courts prioritizing these cases. This procedure does not replace standard eviction processes for lease violations.

Maddy summaryHB 4832 amends Michigan's Public Health Code to establish a new licensure process for anesthesiologist assistants (AAs), directly affecting AAs seeking to practice in the state and the Michigan Board of Medicine. The bill adds new sections defining AA qualifications, supervision requirements, and scope of practice, while updating existing licensing statutes to include AAs as a distinct licensed profession. Key provisions require AAs to complete state-approved education programs and work under physician supervision, with specific standards for training and clinical responsibilities. This bill is procedural in nature, creating the regulatory framework for AA licensure rather than changing patient care standards. It was introduced on August 27, 2025, and referred to the Health Policy Committee.
