Select committee recommends substitute adoption for House bills 4001 and 4002; bills referred to second reading

The select committee on protecting Michigan employees and small businesses reported that substitute H-2 for House Bill 4001 and substitute H-1 for House Bill 4002 be adopted and that the bills be passed. Both bills were referred to the order of second reading.

The clerk announced that several bills were reproduced and made available electronically, including House Bill 4017. Committee chairs reported their recommendations to the full House; the House took no final floor votes on the measures and instead moved both bills to second reading for further consideration.

Representative Schuicher reported that House Bill 4001 carried a recommendation that substitute H-2 be adopted and that the bill then pass. Representative Schutte reported that House Bill 4002 carried a recommendation that substitute H-1 be adopted and that the bill then pass. The transcript records the committee recommendations and the clerk’s referral to second reading, but it does not include floor vote tallies on the bills themselves.

The actions recorded were committee reports and procedural referrals; no final enactment occurred on the floor during this session.
