The House Regulatory Reform Committee advanced several bills during the hearing, recording roll calls on multiple items. Several measures drew testimony; others were moved and reported with recommendation by committee members.

Key outcomes (committee recorded motions and roll calls as noted in the hearing record):

- House Bill 42‑20 (substitute H‑3) — veterinary telehealth expansion: The committee adopted substitute H‑3 to HB 42‑20 and then reported the bill with recommendation. The clerk recorded the substitute adoption with a roll call result of 12 yays, 0 nays, 1 pass; the subsequent report with recommendation recorded 12 yays, 0 nays, 1 pass. Witnesses included Caitlin Stadler (ASPCA), and the Farm Bureau and veterinary associations signaled support; testimony described changes including expanding the definition of qualified individuals and allowing telehealth authority for certain non‑companion animals, and encouraging in‑person follow up when telehealth is insufficient.

- House Bill 42‑21 — reported with recommendation: Representative Liberati moved to report HB 42‑21 with recommendation; the clerk recorded the roll call as 12 yays, 0 nays, 1 pass. (Transcript lists supporters from Michigan Farm Bureau and veterinary organizations.)

- House Bill 47‑74 — report and reconsideration: The committee previously reported HB 47‑74; a member later moved to reconsider the committee’s earlier vote. The hearing record shows an initial report with 12 yeas, 0 nays, 1 pass. A subsequent reconsideration sequence was recorded and the bill was again reported with recommendation; the clerk’s final announcement recorded the measure as reported with recommendation. (Transcript contains inconsistent tallies during the reconsideration sequence; the committee clerk recorded the final disposition as “House Bill 47‑74 is reported with recommendation.”)

- House Bill 48‑25 — beverage container/distributor tax credit: Representative Whitworth introduced HB 48‑25 to create individual and corporate income tax credits for distributors that originate deposits on beverage containers (a half‑cent per container tax credit was proposed in testimony). Testimony from Brett Visner (Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association) and Derek Badgemaw (Michigan Beverage Association) described distributor costs to pick up, transport and process returned containers and estimated a roughly $60,000,000 annual operating cost (testimony noted the figure dates to 2019 and may be higher now). The committee heard the testimony; no committee roll on final disposition was recorded in the transcript excerpt.

- House Bill 47‑11 — self‑storage act modernization: Representative Hoadley presented HB 47‑11 to allow electronic delivery and acceptance of self‑storage rental agreements, permit automatic renewals under specified conditions, and clarify disposition of property after termination for non‑payment or unlawful use. Testimony explained current Michigan statute’s timelines and auction/disposition rules and noted the bill is intended to modernize delivery methods and provide clarity; no committee roll on final disposition was recorded in the transcript excerpt.

Committee procedural notes: Several measures were moved to be reported with recommendation to the Rules Committee or referred according to the clerk’s announcements. Where the clerk recorded roll calls, the vote tallies above reflect the clerk’s audio statement in the hearing record. Several items recorded as “supports bill, does not wish to speak” were included in the docket and noted by the chair.

Next steps: Bills reported with recommendation will be transmitted according to House rules for further consideration; those without recorded votes in the excerpt will remain on the committee’s docket for future action.
