Clerk lists dozens of bills; committee reports show two bills passed and House to reconvene March 4

Following the joint convention and the governor’s address, House clerks and committee chairs announced the reproduction and introduction of a large number of bills and several committee reports on Feb. 25.

The clerk announced that House Bills 4107 through 4129 were reproduced electronically. Committee reports included the Committee on Education and Workforce reporting House Bill 4060 "without amendment or with recommendation the bill passed," and the Committee on Health Policy reporting House Bill 4132 "without amendment" and recommending the bill passed.

The clerk and various representatives then formally introduced a large set of bills by number and title. Several bills were referred to specific standing committees, for example: House Bill 4130 (amend the Bridal Welfare Act) referred to Judiciary; House Bill 4135 (authorize conveyance of state property in Jackson County) referred to Appropriations; multiple bills affecting the Revised School Code and the State School Aid Act were referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce; and bills affecting the Michigan vehicle code and transportation matters were referred to Transportation and Infrastructure.

House Majority Floor Leader announced there would be no further voting that day and that the House would stand adjourned until Tuesday, March 4 at 1:30 p.m.

These announcements are procedural: most bills listed were introduced and referred to committee, not enacted. The committee reports indicate two bills had been reported out for further consideration.
