Committee adopts substitute to extend county candidate‑replacement process to county executive
Summary
The House Committee on Election Integrity adopted substitute H‑1 for House Bill 47‑36 to add the office of county executive to the county candidate replacement process and reported the bill with recommendation after unanimous roll calls (8‑0).
LANSING — The Michigan House Committee on Election Integrity on Tuesday adopted substitute H‑1 for House Bill 47‑36 and then voted to report the bill with recommendation, adding the office of county executive to the county candidate replacement process.
Representative Fox moved to adopt substitute H‑1 for HB 47‑36 “with the recommendation.” The clerk conducted a roll call; Chair Smith, Representative Fox and other committee members recorded votes in favor. The clerk announced “8 yays, 0 nays, and 0 pass,” and the motion to adopt the substitute prevailed.
After adopting the substitute, Representative Sara Hoadley moved to report HB 47‑36 with the recommendation as substituted. The clerk again took the roll; the clerk announced “8 yays, 0 nays, and 0 pass” and the motion prevailed. The committee recorded HB 47‑36 as reported with recommendation as substituted.
No substantive debate on the substitute or the reporting motion is recorded in the hearing minutes. Committee members then moved to excuse absent members and adjourned.
The substitute adds the office of county executive to the list of county offices that follow the county candidate replacement process; the transcript does not contain further detail on implementation timing or procedural steps beyond the substitute language and the recorded roll‑call tallies.
HB 47‑36 will proceed from committee according to the House calendar and rules for bills reported with recommendation.
