Rep. David Martin

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's Public Health Code to create a legal framework for clinical trials involving ibogaine, a substance used to treat substance use disorders. It directly affects researchers, healthcare providers, and participants by establishing specific rules for how these studies can be conducted within the state. The legislation adds new sections to the code that define the requirements for obtaining approval, ensuring participant safety, and reporting data for these trials. By updating existing laws and adding new provisions, the bill aims to facilitate regulated medical research on ibogaine while maintaining oversight by state health authorities.

Maddy summaryThis resolution declares June 2026 as Fidelity Month throughout the state of Michigan.

The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic designation to highlight these principles.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's natural resources laws to update regulations on commercial fishing, including allowable catch limits and quota percentages for various fish species. It establishes stricter record-keeping requirements for fish dealers and mandates that commercial fishers report their catch immediately after each fishing season ends. The legislation also introduces new financial penalties for illegal fishing, requiring offenders to pay fines based on the weight of the fish taken, and sets a rule that commercial licenses will be permanently revoked if a fisher commits five specific violations within a five-year period. Additionally, the bill rescinds several outdated administrative rules related to commercial fishing operations.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to partner with nonprofit sportsmen's organizations to auction up to five Pure Michigan hunt licenses each year to the highest bidders. The licenses available include elk, bear, turkey, antlerless deer, and first-pick waterfowl hunting opportunities, with any individual able to place a bid. The sportsmen's organization would receive a 7.5% cut of the auction proceeds, while the remaining funds go to the state's game and fish protection account. The legislation defines eligible organizations as tax-exempt nonprofits focused on conservation and outdoor recreation, and gives the department authority to issue necessary orders for implementation.

The bill focuses on streamlining administrative processes without introducing new requirements or financial obligations.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes declaring June 2026 as Nuclear Family Month in Michigan to highlight the importance of households consisting of a married couple and their children.

By designating this month, the bill aims to raise awareness about the perceived benefits of traditional family structures for child well-being and societal stability.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes renaming a specific section of Interstate 75 in Wayne County to honor Motor Carrier Officer Daniel M. Kerstetter.

The change directly affects the state's transportation records and signage along that portion of the highway.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires Michigan high schools to mandate a one-semester civics course and eventually require students to pass the civics portion of the U.S. naturalization test to earn graduation credit. It directs the state to update social studies curriculum standards and assessments to align with the current naturalization test questions by May 2018. The law applies to all public and nonpublic schools but includes exemptions for students with specific educational needs or those in military service.

Maddy summaryHB 5331 prohibits state agencies, local governments, universities, community colleges, and other entities receiving state funds from purchasing certain drones. It extends the same drone purchase restrictions that apply to the federal government to these Michigan entities.

This directly affects any state-funded organization that might otherwise buy drones for operations.

Maddy summaryThis bill extends the Michigan First-Time Home Buyer Savings Program through December 31, 2026, by amending the existing law that established the program.

The bill includes a provision stating that it will not take effect unless a related bill, HB 5973, is also passed into law.
