Maddy summaryThis is a symbolic House resolution (not a binding law) reaffirming support for the existing 22nd Amendment, which limits U.S. presidents to two terms. It does not change any law or affect any individuals, as the two-term limit has been part of the Constitution since 1951. The resolution states that all presidents since its ratification have respected the limit and rejects any efforts to undermine or weaken the amendment. It is a non-binding statement of congressional support, not a new policy or legislative action.

Maddy summaryThis resolution urges the federal government to maintain funding and reinstate staff for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) while negotiating the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." It directly affects Michigan residents who rely on the state's Home Heating Credit Program, which provided assistance to 248,765 Michiganders in 2022 - including low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities - by helping cover heating costs. The resolution highlights that proposed federal budget cuts to LIHEAP and the recent firing of LIHEAP program staff threaten the program's continuation, potentially causing payment delays or termination. As a non-binding request, it asks federal leaders to prioritize LIHEAP funding to prevent disruption of this critical aid.

Maddy summaryThis House Resolution (HR 143) urges members of Congress to reject President Trump's proposed "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" and instead support policies that fully fund Medicaid, SNAP, and WIC. It directly affects millions of low-income Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and vulnerable communities who rely on these programs for healthcare, food assistance, and nutrition support. The resolution opposes cuts to Medicaid (which covers 1 in 4 Michiganders), SNAP (impacting 1.4 million Michiganders), and WIC, while criticizing tax breaks for wealthy households and reduced clean energy funding. It calls for expanding healthcare access, promoting clean energy, and ensuring a fair tax system as concrete policy alternatives.

Maddy summaryHB 4742 amends Michigan's environmental permit process to address projects in communities disproportionately affected by pollution (environmentally overburdened communities). It adds a new section (Subpart 2) requiring state agencies to consider community impacts when denying permits or imposing additional conditions for such projects. The bill also repeals the Environmental Permit Review Commission, which previously reviewed permit decisions. This directly affects developers seeking permits in these communities and state agencies responsible for environmental permitting under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act.

Maddy summaryHB 4669 requires Michigan correctional facilities to allow unannounced, immediate inspections by state legislators upon request. It directly affects all correctional facilities under the Department of Corrections and state legislators (senators and representatives). The key provision mandates that facility staff must grant legislators access to inspect any premises without prior notice. This bill enhances legislative oversight by providing direct, on-the-ground access to correctional facilities for lawmakers.

Maddy summaryThis House resolution (HR 132) urges the federal government to reinstate the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), which was suspended indefinitely by President Trump's January 2025 executive order. It directly affects refugees currently blocked from entering the U.S. due to the suspension, citing court challenges and a 2024 report noting refugees undergo the most rigorous screening of any immigrant group. The resolution does not create new law but formally requests federal action to resume refugee admissions. It was introduced on June 12, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Maddy summaryThis resolution declares June 12, 2025, as "Black Men Awareness Day" in Michigan. It is a symbolic recognition meant to honor Black men's contributions to Michigan's history, culture, and communities. The resolution does not create new laws, policies, or funding mechanisms - it solely establishes a designated day for awareness. It directly affects Michigan residents through this official state acknowledgment. The bill was introduced and adopted by the Michigan House of Representatives on June 12, 2025.

Maddy summaryHR 127 is a resolution urging the U.S. Department of Labor to reverse its decision to pause all Job Corps center operations by June 30, 2025, with specific focus on the Detroit center. It directly affects approximately 217 enrolled youth at the Detroit Job Corps Center, who were reportedly told to leave immediately on May 30, 2025, with reports of some facing homelessness. The resolution cites the program’s 60-year history of providing career training, high school completion, and wraparound services (like mental health support) to disadvantaged youth aged 16-24. It emphasizes that the sudden pause disrupts critical services for Detroit youth and communities, as 321 Michigan participants were enrolled at the Detroit center as of 2023. The resolution has no binding effect but formally requests the Department of Labor reverse its operational pause.

Maddy summaryHouse Resolution 115 is a resolution from the Michigan House of Representatives that urges the President and the United States Congress to fully fund Medicaid.
