House Health Policy Committee adopts H‑1 substitute for HB 4101 and reports HB 4380 to the floor
Summary
The Michigan House Health Policy Committee adopted the H‑1 substitute for House Bill 4101 and referred the bill to the Committee on Rules, and reported House Bill 4380 to the House floor with a recommendation that it pass; both votes were recorded 17‑0.
The Michigan House Health Policy Committee on an uncontested voice-roll call on an undisclosed date adopted the H‑1 substitute for House Bill 4101 and then referred that bill to the Committee on Rules. The committee also voted to report House Bill 4380 to the House floor with a recommendation that it pass.
Committee chair VanderWaal called the roll for both measures and the clerk announced the results. On the motion to adopt the H‑1 substitute for HB 4101, the clerk announced, “Mister chair, you have 17 yays, 0 nays, 0 pass. The motion prevails.” The same tally was recorded on the motion to refer HB 4101 to Rules and on the motion to report HB 4380 with a recommendation that it pass.
Why it matters: The substitute adoption and subsequent referral formally move HB 4101 to Rules for further consideration; reporting HB 4380 to the floor sends the bill to the full House with a committee recommendation to pass. Committee action is a required step in the legislative process and determines which bills advance toward full consideration by the House.
What the votes were: The committee recorded unanimous support for both the procedural votes on HB 4101 and the reporting vote on HB 4380. The roll-call entries show individual members voting “Yes”; the clerk’s announcement summarized the tallies as 17 yays, 0 nays, 0 passes for each motion.
Next steps: HB 4101 will be considered by the Committee on Rules under the adopted H‑1 substitute; HB 4380 will be placed on the House calendar for floor consideration with the committee’s recommendation that it pass.
