Senate Majority Floor Leader Senator Singh moved that the chamber resolve into the Committee of the Whole to consider calendar items 4–7, and the motion was agreed to. Senator Daley presided as the Committee of the Whole and, following committee consideration, the secretary read that the committee “reports the following bills without amendment recommending that the bills do pass: Senate Bills 240, 241, 242, and 243.” The clerk recorded that the bills would be placed on the order of third reading of bills.

The bills advanced are described in the committee report as:
- Senate Bill 240: a bill to amend Michigan election law (reported by the Committee on Elections and Ethics).
- Senate Bill 241: a bill to amend the Home Rule Village Act (reported by the Committee on Elections and Ethics).
- Senate Bill 242: a bill to amend the General Law Village Act (reported by the Committee on Elections and Ethics).
- Senate Bill 243: a bill to amend the Home Rule City Act (reported by the Committee on Elections and Ethics).

No amendments were pending on the four bills, and the transcript records no floor discussion on any of the measures before they were advanced. The next procedural step for each bill is placement on the Senate calendar for third reading. No roll-call vote or recorded tally was taken in the Committee of the Whole on these items during the recorded session; the committee report recommended passage and the bills were advanced accordingly.

Background: The Committee of the Whole is a procedural stage in which the full Senate considers bills reported from committee. Advancing a bill to third reading places it on the calendar for final consideration and possible passage on a future Senate day.

Ending: The Senate returned from the Committee of the Whole and proceeded through other business; the bills remain pending on the calendar for third reading and further action by the Senate.","The Michigan Senate’s Committee of the Whole reported four bills—Senate Bills 240–243—without amendment and advanced them to third reading during the April 30, 2025 floor session; no debate was recorded on the measures.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6256054,"Senate adopts resolution designating April 30, 2025 as Black April Memorial Week",117,2028000,2145000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3159694-3ced2cc79db32f1ddb8c8bd6d6874895&start=2028&end=2145","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3159694-3ced2cc79db32f1ddb8c8bd6d6874895/thumbnail_2028000.jpg","/articles/6256054/Michigan/Senate-adopts-resolution-designating-April-30-2025-as-Black-April-Memorial-Week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6256054-0ad504733daadf5ffb6f6946b8503a0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770923757&Signature=mWUrpG91Bmwo5RJubLnxYU6lNUzqj~PWS5-1g56Q9asR4YuU-qiKSjIQrmSK5iDkB0BQfjLund3M2VaSO11KWR9eO17zcVN-35R~I45jFG7zH1SYNJu1gq2BwK~pIZ5CXnSmnptbi3TGJZkF~y0C4SU7I0BvWD3q3SmjVHQYIvj-8qTCBbbx4IoVDYjnkAFLuLPv~8WcwHY1TMt~FaPpuS9WGjxxGDM1hvyrLktJT6doA5x8EOdoJeFIYQAST8bO1Xrz3v-mbLQs2rAaWIKYWzFvZ1crlg3b4YomcnWVLc8pIJbS62RSEgj8EG4hasX0KBWCdpRwD-f7qZPxav4PiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Michigan Senate adopted Senate Resolution 38 on April 30, 2025, designating April 30, 2025 as Black April Memorial Week to commemorate the fall of Saigon and to recognize the Vietnamese American community in Michigan.

Senator Demuth offered Senate Resolution 38; the rules were suspended to allow immediate consideration. The presiding officer then recognized a senator identified in the transcript as Senator Demos, who delivered extended remarks recounting the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the waves of Vietnamese refugees, and the establishment of Vietnamese American communities in the United States. The remarks noted the evacuation of Saigon on April 30, 1975 and described subsequent refugee waves, camps, and resettlement programs; the speaker said the resolution commemorates “Black April” as an occasion both to memorialize loss and to celebrate the resilience of Vietnamese Americans.

Senator Chang also addressed the chamber to welcome guests from the Vietnamese American Association of Michigan who were present in the gallery. Following remarks and no further discussion, the clerk put the question on adoption; Senators voted by voice and the president announced the resolution adopted. The transcript does not contain a roll-call tally for the adoption; the adoption was recorded as a voice vote.

Ending: The resolution was adopted and will be entered into the Senate journal per routine practice; no implementation steps or fiscal impacts were recorded in the session transcript.","The Michigan Senate adopted Senate Resolution 38 on April 30, 2025, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and recognizing Vietnamese American communities; the resolution was adopted by voice vote after remarks on the historical significance.","actionData","errors"]
