The Michigan Senate took final passage votes on a slate of bills addressing election law and local-government statutes during its May 2025 floor session and approved them without floor debate.
Senate Bill 240, a bill to amend Michigan election law, was read for final passage and passed with 37 aye, 0 no votes, and 0 excused. Senate Bill 241 (to amend the Home Rule Village Act), Senate Bill 242 (to amend the General Law Village Act) and Senate Bill 243 (to amend the Home Rule City Act) were each considered read and passed by voice or recorded unanimous votes; the secretary announced 37 aye, 0 no, and 0 excused for those items as recorded in the floor transcript.
Chamber leaders handled the items under the order of third reading and the majority floor leader moved that the items be considered. The clerk/secretary opened and closed the board for recorded votes and announced the tallies. Floor remarks indicate there were no amendments pending to the final passage of these bills and no extended debate on the floor.
The transcript records referral and committee action for other introduced bills earlier in the day, but these four items reached final passage during the session and were approved by the full Senate as recorded. The floor record does not specify subsequent enrollment steps or the governor's action for these bills.
