Johnson said the bill does not change who qualifies for an alert but enables use of existing federal wireless alert infrastructure to notify many people instantly when every second counts. He told the House the bill would use existing systems, avoid new departments or appropriations, and strengthen public safety.

The clerk called a record roll call; the clerk later announced 103 aye votes and 2 nay votes. The bill passed and the majority floor leader moved for immediate effect; the House ordered immediate effect.

On the floor Nyer cited a specific case she said involved the Eisenman family, saying the family faced roughly $12,000 in fines for late reporting after a death on the farm.

Nyer said the bill defines “small family farm” and reduces penalties associated with reporting requirements by up to 80% for qualifying farms provided there is no history of other violations. She said the bill will relieve small operations that do not have dedicated HR staff and will not shield farms with repeated violations.

Following the recorded roll call, the clerk announced 80 aye votes and 25 nay votes. The bill passed; the majority floor leader then moved for immediate effect and the House ordered immediate effect.

Wolford said Michigan still uses magnetic‑strip Bridge Cards that are “easy to hack” and that switching to chip technology would reduce fraud and protect benefits for eligible families. He cited industry data in broad terms — saying chip adoption reduced fraud dramatically for payment cards — and argued the bill would help curb fraud and reduce error rates he said cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars.

On final passage the clerk announced 77 aye votes and 28 nay votes. A majority of members having voted in favor, the bill passed and the majority floor leader moved for immediate effect; the House ordered immediate effect.

On the floor, Wolford emphasized both fraud and the “error rate” as concerns; he described the measure as focused primarily on fraud prevention and said it would “help” address error rates and allow case workers to focus on serving families rather than chasing fraud.

Hoadley said Michigan voters approved Proposal 2 in 2022, which expanded early voting and no‑reason absentee voting and allowed ballots postmarked by election day to be counted if received within six days after the election. He said the change created the possibility that local officials could take office before those ballots were counted and described HB 4358 as moving the date from Nov. 20 to Dec. 1 for certain offices so “all votes are counted before a city, village, or township winning candidate can assume his office.”

A record roll‑call vote was held. The clerk announced 105 aye votes and 0 nay votes; the bill passed. The majority floor leader then moved for immediate effect, the House ordered immediate effect and the bill took effect on an expedited timetable.

The bill was presented as a timing and administrative change tied to the 2022 constitutional amendment (Proposal 2). No amendments were recorded during the floor discussion on the bill before its third‑reading passage.

The House debate and vote occurred on the floor during the session in which the bill was taken up for third reading and placed on immediate passage.","The Michigan House passed House Bill 4358 to move the effective date before local officials assume office so ballots mailed by service members and overseas voters and received shortly after Election Day can be counted first; the bill passed unanimously and immediate effect was ordered.","actionData","errors"]
