Committee reports four bills to House floor; substitutes adopted unanimously in committee
Summary
The House Families and Veterans Committee adopted H-1 substitutes and reported four bills (HB 4676 as H-1, HB 4677, HB 4517, HB 4518 as H-1) to the full House by unanimous committee roll calls (10-0), according to the committee clerk’s calls recorded in the transcript.
The Michigan House Families and Veterans Committee took procedural votes on multiple bills at the start of the meeting, adopting H-1 substitute language where noted and reporting the measures to the House floor with committee recommendation.
On a voice/roll-call series, the committee adopted the H-1 substitute to House Bill 4676 (vote recorded as 10 yays, 0 nays, 0 passes) and then reported HB 4676 to the floor as the H-1 substitute. Representative Thompson moved adoption of the substitute; the clerk announced the tally as 10–0.
The committee then reported House Bill 4677 to the floor with recommendation (committee roll call announced as 10–0). Representative Burns moved the report. House Bill 4517 was similarly reported after a roll call (10–0). The committee then adopted an H-1 substitute to House Bill 4518 (the H-1 provides a definition of “child with special needs,” according to the clerk’s announcement) and reported HB 4518 as the H-1 substitute; the clerk announced the vote as 10–0.
The clerk’s roll calls and the committee chair’s confirmations recorded each motion as prevailing with 10 yays, 0 nays, and 0 passes. The transcript shows committee members present for those votes included Chair (Schmaltz/Smoltz), Representatives Swozniak, Fox, Johnson, Thompson, Pablo, Wolford, Young, Burns, Reingartz, and Song (the clerk announced “10 yays” when the tally was complete). The transcript does not include bill text in full; the committee reported these bills to the House floor with recommendation for further action by the full chamber.
