Senate passes three bills on final reading; SB 130, SB 131 and SB 147
Summary
On April 29, 2025, the Michigan Senate voted to pass three bills on final reading: Senate Bill 130 (state license fee act), Senate Bill 131 (occupational code) and Senate Bill 147 (revised judicature act of 1961). Each passed with the vote tallies announced on the floor.
The Michigan Senate passed three bills on final reading Wednesday, advancing statutory changes after voice calls and recorded tallies.
Senate Bill 130 — described on the floor as a bill to amend the state license fee act — passed on final passage, with the secretary announcing “25 votes, 11 no votes and 1 excused.” The chair declared the bill passed after the secretary confirmed the tally.
Senate Bill 131, identified on the calendar as a bill to amend the occupational code, passed on final passage. The secretary announced the vote as “33 I votes, 3 no votes and 1 excused,” and the chair declared the bill passed.
Senate Bill 147, described on the floor as a bill to amend the revised judicature act of 1961, also passed. The secretary announced the final tally as “21 votes, 15 no votes and 1 excused,” and the chair declared the bill passed.
All three items were taken up without recorded floor discussion or amendments pending at the time of final passage, and each floor announcement noted that no amendments were pending. The bills were taken from the calendar and advanced by recorded vote as required by the Senate rules for final passage.
