The Michigan House of Representatives passed three bills on final passage during its Dec. 9 floor session and moved dozens of other measures through committee referral and second- and third-reading steps.

House Bill 4314, introduced by Representative Saint Germain and described as an amendment to the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, was placed on third reading, faced no amendments and passed on a roll-call vote with 87 ayes and 11 nays. Majority Floor Leader Bagole moved for immediate effect and the House ordered that immediate effect be applied.

House Bill 4917, introduced by Representative Smit to amend the manufactured milk law of 2001, likewise was read a third time with no amendments, passed on a record roll call with 69 ayes and 29 nays, and was ordered to take immediate effect after a motion by Majority Floor Leader Bagole.

Senate Bill 595, described in the clerk’s reading as amending the Michigan–Indiana State Line Remonumentation Act, passed unanimously on final passage with 98 ayes and 0 nays; members ordered immediate effect following the vote.

The clerk recorded several individual votes noted during roll-call tallies (Representative Beagle was recorded voting aye on HB 4314; Representatives Purry and McKinney were recorded voting aye during the SB 595 tally), and vote tallies were displayed by the clerk in each instance.

Beyond the three final-passage items, the chamber advanced a large number of bills to second or third reading across multiple committees. Committee reports recommending adoption of substitute H-1 were read for bills in the Education & Workforce and Judiciary committees; bills involving food law, wholesale licensing for potato dealers, public health code amendments and state school aid also moved forward. House Resolution 224—a resolution introduced by Representative Arbette urging reversal of a federal decision on disaster relief linked to the March 2025 ice storm—was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

The clerk also announced an extensive set of messages from the Senate, transmitting numerous bills for first consideration (including measures creating trade commissions, amending the strategic fund act, Reconnect Grant Acts, the public health code, vehicle code and judicature act) and referred them to the appropriate standing committees for review. Committee meeting notices were announced, including Regulatory Reform on Dec. 11 at 9:00 a.m. (Room 519) and the Opioid Advisory Commission on Dec. 18 at 1:00 p.m.
