Summary
The Michigan Senate gave first readings to several bills—including changes to the General Property Tax Act, the Judicature Act of 1961, and the Michigan Penal Code—and referred each to standing committees. The Senate also received two House bills on nondisclosure agreements and adjourned until March 5 at 10 a.m.
The Michigan Senate convened and gave first readings to multiple bills and referred them to committee, the secretary of the Senate announced. The session concluded with an adjournment until Wednesday, March 5, at 10 a.m.
The most significant introductions included Senate Bill 110, described as a bill to amend the General Property Tax Act; Senate Bill 111, described as a bill to amend the Revised Judicature Act of 1961; Senate Bills 112 and 113, each described as bills to amend the Michigan Penal Code; and Senate Bill 114, described as a bill to provide for the creation of a vulnerable adult multidisciplinary team. Each bill received a first reading and was placed with a standing committee for further consideration: SB 110 to the Committee on Finance, Insurance, and Consumer Protection; SBs 111–114 to the Committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety.
The Senate also received two House-transmitted measures. House Bill 4052, described as a bill to prohibit members of the Legislature and certain legislative staff from entering into certain nondisclosure agreements, and House Bill 4053, described as a bill to provide definitions for the Non Disclosure Agreement Act, were both given first readings and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
All items in this session were introductory: the record shows first readings and committee referrals rather than floor debate or final votes on the measures. No roll-call votes or final dispositions on the bills were recorded in the provided transcript.
The Senate adjourned pursuant to Senate rule 3.104 and joint rule 15 and will next convene at the time stated by the secretary.
