Lede: The Michigan House opened, the clerk reported the print and enrollment of several bills presented to the governor, and members introduced a broad slate of new House bills spanning appropriations, public health, taxation and education before the chamber adjourned without day.

Nut graf: Across the morning proceeding the clerk listed enrolled bills and exact presentation times to the governor and the House received a performance audit from the Auditor General and a two‑year progress report from Grand Valley State University about GEE Compass Academy.

Body: An unnamed presiding officer called the House to order. The clerk opened the board for attendance, directed members to check in at their desks and announced that a quorum was not present.

At the close of the session the House stood at ease and received a message from the Senate delivered by Dan Oberlin, Secretary of the Senate, informing Speaker Matt Hall that the Senate had completed business and was ready to adjourn. The presiding officer declared the House adjourned without day at 12:00 noon under a concurrent resolution and constitutional provision specifying that hour.

Follow‑up on the introduced bills will occur in the committees to which they were referred; the record of this session is limited to first readings, enrollments reported to the governor and the audit/university reports presented to the House.
