Rep. Greg Alexander

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Michigan laws to clarify how golf carts can be used on public roads in smaller communities with populations under 30,000. It allows local governments to permit golf cart operation while setting specific rules, such as requiring drivers to be at least 16 years old, obey traffic signals, and limit speeds to 15 mph. The legislation also establishes a process for counties to block golf cart use in townships due to safety or environmental concerns and outlines conditions under which golf carts may be allowed on certain state highways.

Maddy summaryThis House resolution urges the Governor of Michigan to take actions that support and speed up the Brandon Road Interbasin Project, which aims to stop invasive Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. The bill asks state officials to work closely with the federal government to ensure timely reviews and approvals, and it requests that the House be informed of any additional steps needed to move the project forward. By expediting the construction of underwater barriers, the measure seeks to protect Michigan's economy and environment from potential ecological damage caused by the carp. The resolution does not create new laws but serves as a formal request to state and federal partners to coordinate efforts and avoid further delays.

Maddy summaryHB 4901 amends Michigan's Public Health Code to clarify licensing requirements for nurses and speech-language pathologists. It specifies that only licensed professionals can use titles like "registered nurse" (RN), "licensed practical nurse" (LPN), or "speech-language pathologist" (Section 17211 and 17603). The bill maintains a 3-year license cycle for both professions but delays the restriction on "clinical nurse specialist" titles until 12 months after related rules are finalized. This is a technical update to existing licensing rules, not a new policy change.

Maddy summaryThis bill declares April 19, 2026, as Patriots' Day in Michigan to honor the 251st anniversary of the battles at Lexington and Concord. It establishes a specific date for commemoration, aligning Michigan with other states that observe this holiday to remember the start of the Revolutionary War. The resolution requires no new laws or funding and serves only as an official state acknowledgment of the historical event.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates April 2026 as County Government Month in Michigan to honor the work of local county officials. It aims to raise public awareness about the essential services counties provide, such as law enforcement, social services, and infrastructure maintenance. The resolution encourages citizens and organizations to participate in programs that recognize these contributions during the specified month. As a commemorative measure, the bill does not alter existing laws or funding but serves to highlight the importance of county governance.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes the United States Men's and Women's National Hockey Teams for their gold medal victories at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. It highlights the sport's historical significance in American culture and specifically acknowledges Michigan's strong reputation as 'Hockeytown' in the context of these achievements. The measure serves as a commemorative tribute rather than establishing new laws or funding.

Maddy summaryHB 5577 updates Michigan's official land survey coordinate systems to align with current national standards. It formally names and defines the "Michigan plane coordinate system" (MCS 27 for 1927 coordinates and MCS 83 for 1983 coordinates), divides the state into north, central, and south zones based on specific counties, and sets requirements for documenting coordinates (including units, metadata, and positional tolerance estimates). The bill directly affects land surveyors, government agencies, and property recorders who use these systems to define land boundaries. It standardizes how coordinates must be reported in surveys and land records to ensure accuracy and consistency with national geodetic networks.

Maddy summaryThis resolution designates April 2026 as Multiple Birth Awareness Month in Michigan to highlight the unique challenges and needs of families with twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples. The measure aims to increase public understanding of risks associated with multiple births, such as preterm delivery and low birth weight, while encouraging parents to connect with support networks like local clubs and medical professionals. By officially recognizing this month, the state legislature intends to foster community education and resources for expectant and current parents of multiple children.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates April 2026 as National Donate Life Month within the state of Michigan to honor organ and tissue donors. It aims to recognize the generosity of individuals registered with the Michigan Organ Donor Registry and highlight the life-saving impact of their contributions.
