House passes update to Michigan Electric Code; floor substitute fails
Summary
House Bill 4663, updating the Michigan Electric Code of 1998, passed the House after a floor substitute failed to get support. Final vote was 85–21 and immediate effect was ordered.
The Michigan House approved House Bill 4663, a measure to amend the Michigan Electric Code of 1998. On third reading Representative Andrews offered a floor substitute identified as amendment 1; the clerk opened the board to test support and the amendment did not receive the required backing.
With no further amendments, the House proceeded to final passage. The clerk announced the roll call result: 85 aye, 21 nay. A majority of members voted in favor, the bill passed, and the majority moved for immediate effect which was ordered on the floor.
The transcript shows the amendment failed to gain support during the third‑reading amendment process; the final passage vote and immediate‑effect motion followed consistent House procedure. The record does not include the text of the failed floor substitute in the on‑floor transcript excerpt available here.
