Maddy summarySB 46 updates regulations for water delivery systems in mobile home parks by amending existing water supply laws (1976 PA 399). The bill directly affects mobile home park owners and residents by requiring these systems to meet specific reliability and safety standards. Key provisions include setting requirements for system maintenance, water quality testing, and emergency response protocols for parks relying on shared water infrastructure. This change ensures consistent, safe water access for mobile home park communities under revised regulatory guidelines.

Maddy summaryThis is a Senate resolution (SR 64), not a bill with policy changes. Introduced by Senator Cherry, it formally condemns the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans for supporting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (referred to sarcastically as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"). The resolution states it opposes the Act's proposed cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and WIC programs, its tax cuts for wealthy households, and its impact on clean energy initiatives, citing specific Michigan impacts like 2.6 million Medicaid recipients and 1.4 million SNAP users. As a symbolic resolution, it does not change policy but urges Congress to reject the Act and pursue alternative policies.

Maddy summarySB 224 prohibits the manufacture, sale, or possession of bump stocks in Michigan under amended state law (MCL 750.224). It directly affects individuals who make, sell, or own bump stocks, which are devices that can increase the rate of fire on semi-automatic firearms. The bill amends existing law to explicitly ban these activities, making bump stock possession a violation of state criminal law. The measure passed the Michigan House with 22 votes in favor and 14 against on June 25, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis is a ceremonial resolution (SR 62), not a substantive bill. It formally commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) signing on July 26, 1990. The resolution recognizes the ADA's role in prohibiting disability discrimination and promoting equal access in public life. It has no policy impact or direct effect on individuals or laws; it simply urges Michigan residents to acknowledge the anniversary. The Michigan Senate adopted it unanimously on June 25, 2025.

Maddy summarySB 331 requires all firearm components, including parts used to build unserialized "ghost guns," to have valid serial numbers. It bans selling or possessing unserialized firearms or gun parts after 18 months and mandates licensing for individuals making more than five firearms annually. This affects gun manufacturers, sellers, and owners of unserialized weapons, but exempts law enforcement, antique firearms, licensed dealers, and lawfully manufactured items. The law aims to improve firearm tracking through standardized serial numbering while maintaining existing legal exemptions.

Maddy summarySB 225 prohibits licensed concealed pistol carry in specific locations including schools (except for parents dropping off/picking up children), child care centers, sports arenas, certain bars, places of worship, large entertainment venues (2,500+ capacity), hospitals, college dorms/classrooms, and state buildings like the Capitol. It exempts certain professionals such as retired law enforcement, security personnel, corrections officers, and court officers who are licensed to carry. Violations result in escalating penalties: a $500 civil infraction for first offenses (with license suspension), misdemeanor charges for second offenses, and felony charges for third offenses. The bill directly affects licensed concealed carry permit holders by restricting where they may carry firearms, while allowing exemptions for authorized personnel.

Maddy summarySB 332 updates Michigan's sentencing guidelines for firearm-related crimes by amending MCL 777.11b. It directly affects individuals convicted of firearm offenses by changing the framework judges use to determine sentences. The bill modifies specific sentencing parameters within the existing criminal procedure code, though the exact nature of the changes (e.g., adjustments to offense levels or sentencing ranges) isn't detailed in the provided text. This is a procedural amendment to the sentencing structure, not a new law creating new offenses.

Maddy summarySB 226 prohibits firearms in specific locations including state buildings (like the Capitol and legislative offices), hospitals, day care centers, churches, theaters, sports arenas, and liquor-licensed establishments. It also restricts firearms near polling places, absentee ballot drop boxes, and clerk offices during election periods, with a 100-foot buffer zone around these sites. Exceptions include law enforcement officers, licensed concealed carriers, security personnel employed at these locations, and individuals with property permission. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors with up to 90 days in jail or a $100 fine.

Maddy summarySB 235 creates a corporate income tax credit for businesses that use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It directly affects airlines and fuel producers in Michigan by reducing their state tax liability based on the volume of SAF they utilize. The bill amends Michigan's tax code (MCL 206.1-206.847) to add a specific provision allowing corporations to claim this credit. This provides a financial incentive for adopting SAF, aiming to support cleaner aviation fuel adoption without specifying environmental outcomes.

Maddy summarySB 236 creates a tax credit program in Michigan to incentivize the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It directly affects fuel producers who meet specific environmental standards, requiring SAF to achieve at least a 50% reduction in life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum fuel and comply with ASTM aviation fuel standards. Producers must apply to the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy for certification of their tax credit, providing evidence of domestic production, emissions reduction, and proof that the fuel was used in aircraft departing Michigan airports. The program administers tax credits through a state-certified process, aiming to boost local SAF production while meeting federal environmental benchmarks.
