House Rules Committee adopts substitute and reports bills including epilepsy suspension reform
The Michigan House Rules Committee took roll-call action on two bills during the session.

On House Bill 4306, Representative Vanderwal introduced a substitute that "allows for less than 6 months suspensions for drivers who have suffered an epileptic seizure," and the substitute removes the requirement for notice and hearing during that shorter suspension window while retaining the possibility to shorten or waive time periods if defined conditions are met. Representative DeBoer moved to adopt the substitute. The clerk called the roll on the motion to adopt the substitute; the committee recorded six yeas, zero nays and two passes, and the chair announced, "The motion does prevail. The substitute is adopted."

Representative DeBoer then moved to report the bill with recommendation as substitute H‑1. On that motion the clerk recorded five yeas, zero nays and passes recorded; the chair announced the motion prevailed and the bill was reported with the committee's recommendation as substitute H‑1.

The committee also took up House Bill 4402 (sponsor listed as Representative Vanderwal in the transcript). Representative Martin moved to report the bill with recommendation; the clerk recorded eight yeas, zero nays and zero passes on the motion to report, and the chair stated, "The bill is reported with recommendation."

The transcript excerpts provided do not include the full bill texts or a detailed floor amendment summary for House Bill 4402; the committee record in the excerpt shows only the roll-call outcome.
