Housing: housing development authority; provision of services or grants or participation in programs for certain individuals; prohibit. Amends 1966 PA 346 (MCL 125.1401 - 125.1499c) by adding sec. 13.

Maddy summaryThis bill restricts access to Michigan's State Housing Development Authority programs by limiting eligibility to U.S. citizens and qualified aliens. It directly affects individuals seeking housing assistance, grants, or services under the act by requiring them to meet specific immigration status criteria. The legislation defines "qualified alien" using the existing federal definition found in U.S. law, ensuring the state's requirements align with national standards. If enacted, the change would prevent non-citizens who do not meet these federal immigration categories from receiving state-funded housing support.

Natural resources: hunting; year-round coyote hunting season; provide for. Amends sec. 43531 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.43531).

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to allow individuals with a valid hunting license to hunt coyotes year-round in Michigan, removing previous seasonal restrictions. It maintains the requirement for a separate fur harvester's license to hunt other fur-bearing animals but clarifies that this license is only valid for species without established bag limits starting March 1, 2014. The legislation also outlines specific licensing fees and eligibility rules for residents and nonresidents, including a discount for minor children. These changes would directly affect hunters and trappers by expanding the time available to hunt coyotes while adjusting regulations for other fur-bearing species.
