The Michigan House of Representatives convened Oct. 15, 2025, heard committee reports on several bills and received the introduction of legislation to amend the Michigan Employment Security Act before adjourning because a quorum was not present, the presiding officer and the clerk said.

Committee chairs reported recommendations on multiple House bills during the brief session. The Committee on Regulatory Reform, chaired by Representative Aragona, reported House Bill 4220 with a recommendation that substitute H-3 be adopted and that the bill pass; the clerk then placed the bill on the order of second reading. The same committee reported House Bill 4221 with a recommendation that it be referred to the Committee on Rules. Representative Aragona and Representative Eragona each reported additional committee action: HB 4774 and HB 5092 were reported without amendment with recommendations that the bills pass and were placed on second reading, the clerk said. The Committee on Rules, chaired by Representative Schutti, reported House Bill 4509 without amendment with a recommendation that it pass.

Clerk announcements included that House Bill 5097 was reproduced and made available electronically on Wednesday, Oct. 15. Representative Wolford introduced House Bill 5098, a bill described in the session as an amendment to the Michigan Employment Security Act; the bill was read a first time by title and referred to the Committee on Economic Competitiveness. The clerk and presiding officer announced that a quorum was not present, and the House stood adjourned until Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, at 1:30 p.m.

The session also included scheduling notices for upcoming committee hearings: the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Child Welfare System on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 10:30 a.m. in Room 308 of the House Office Building; the House Committee on Families and Veterans on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at noon in Room 307; the House Committee on Education and Workforce on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 10:30 a.m. in Room 327; and the House Committee on Judiciary on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 10:30 a.m. in Room 521 of the House Office Building.

No floor votes or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript of this session. The committee reports cited committee recommendations (for example, recommending that substitute H-3 be adopted for HB 4220) and the clerk recorded subsequent procedural referrals to second reading or to the Committee on Rules. The transcript does not record floor action adopting or rejecting the committee recommendations.

Future action on the reported bills will depend on their placement on the second-reading calendar, any further committee work, and scheduling by the House leadership.
