Rep. Jaime Greene

Maddy summaryHB 4521 modifies Michigan's tuition grant program for resident students at eligible nonprofit colleges. It sets limits: 10 semesters for undergraduate study (12 for 2020-2021 enrollees), 6 for graduate, and 8 for dental programs. The bill excludes students receiving Michigan Achievement Scholarships and those in theology programs, while requiring financial need assessment using criteria from another state aid program. Grants cover tuition/fees up to the college's annual cost or the student's financial need, whichever is lower, and prioritize full-time students.

Maddy summaryThis resolution proposes impeaching Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson under Article XI, Section 7 of the Michigan Constitution, alleging she violated her oath by exceeding her legal authority and breaching election laws. It specifically cites her failure to follow state rulemaking procedures (Administrative Procedures Act) when issuing election guidance, ignoring court rulings on her policies, and an affiliated PAC's campaign contribution to a Supreme Court justice during an active case challenging her actions. The resolution formally directs impeachment proceedings against her for "corrupt conduct in office and for crimes and misdemeanors." It does not enact new policy but initiates a constitutional process to remove her from office.

Maddy summaryHB 4287 modifies Michigan's individual income tax code to adjust deductions for retirement and pension benefits. It increases the maximum deductible amount for retirement income to $42,240 for single filers and $84,480 for joint filers, with annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. This change directly affects Michigan taxpayers who receive retirement or pension benefits, allowing them to reduce their taxable income by a larger portion of those benefits while maintaining specific eligibility rules. The bill does not alter other tax provisions or include broadband-related funding as referenced in its title.

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.

Maddy summaryHB 4469 amends Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to allow K-12 public and private schools subject to Title IX (federal education law) to base athletic participation eligibility on a student's biological sex as listed on their original birth certificate. This specifically exempts schools from the state's anti-discrimination law when determining sports team placement for students in grades K-12. The provision directly affects K-12 educational institutions, enabling them to use birth certificate sex as the criterion for athletic eligibility rather than other factors. The bill creates a clear policy change by overriding the general anti-discrimination protections in the civil rights law for this specific athletic context.

Maddy summaryHB 4010 designates Harrison Township in Michigan as "Boat Town USA" to symbolically recognize the community's connection to boating culture. The bill does not create new laws, regulations, or funding; it is a purely ceremonial designation. Passed by the Michigan House of Representatives in May 2025 with 83 votes in favor, the measure formally assigns this title without altering any existing policies or obligations.

Maddy summaryHB 4234 prohibits the sale or transfer of agricultural assets or land to foreign entities. This bill directly affects foreign entities by preventing them from acquiring agricultural property within the state. It amends existing state law (1846 RS 66) by adding new sections to establish these restrictions on land sales. The legislation aims to regulate the ownership of agricultural resources.

Maddy summaryHB 4223 requires all public and nonpublic schools in Michigan to develop and implement a school safety and security training plan starting with the 2026-2027 school year. The bill mandates that school resource officers, safety personnel, crisis response team members, and all school staff complete this training. The specific training content is defined in existing Section 1308f of the Revised School Code. This policy directly affects every school employee in Michigan's public and private schools, requiring them to undergo standardized safety training before the 2026-2027 school year.
