House Transportation Committee reports House Bill 4415 as substitute H‑1 after unanimous roll call

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted 14 yeas, 0 nays, to report House Bill 4415 with a recommendation as substitute H‑1 after the clerk called the roll Thursday.

The vote came after the committee adopted the minutes of its June 3 meeting without objection. A supporting witness card from Samantha Gibson of the Michigan Association of Counties was entered into the record by a committee member prior to the roll call.

Vice Chair Alexander moved to report House Bill 4415 with the recommendation as substitute H‑1; the clerk then conducted a roll call. The clerk announced, “Mister chair, you have 14 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 pass. The motion prevails.” The committee chair confirmed the bill was reported with the recommendation as substitute H‑1.

The transcript records the committee’s adoption of the June 3 minutes by unanimous consent before taking the roll on HB 4415. No substantive debate on the bill’s provisions is captured in the hearing record; the committee proceeded afterward to informational presentations on mileage‑based user fees (VMT/road usage charge) and related policy options.

The committee’s action formally moves House Bill 4415 forward with a committee recommendation; subsequent committee or floor action will determine whether the bill advances further.
