Committee adopts H-2 substitute and reports HB 4418; HB 4419 also reported
Summary
The committee adopted an H-2 substitute for House Bill 4418 after technical edits and reported both HB 4418 (with substitute) and HB 4419 with recommendation; supporters including Michigan Guardianship Association and Michigan Health and Hospital Association filed cards of support.
The House Judiciary Committee adopted a substituted version (H-2) of House Bill 4418 and later reported HB 4418 with the substitute attached. Chair Leitner said technical changes were made and that legal counsel advised the bills address consent language; Representative Wozniak moved the substitute and the clerk recorded the roll call. The clerk announced the substitute and the bill were reported with recommendation. House Bill 4419 (by Rep. Whitwer) was also moved by Representative Wozniak and reported with recommendation after a roll call.
Support was recorded from organizations including the Michigan Guardianship Association and the Michigan Health and Hospital Association (written cards read into the record); several supporters did not wish to speak. The chair said there had been some discussion but "not much has changed" since prior testimony and emphasized continued committee review will occur when the sub is brought back in two weeks.
The committee recorded the votes and the clerk’s roll-call announcements indicate the measures were reported with recommendation to move forward in the House process.
