Kalkaska commissioners adopt resolution backing bills to curb foreclosure fraud
Summary
The board unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-03 supporting Michigan House Bills 5152 and 5153, discussed in the meeting as measures to prohibit foreclosure fraud.
The Kalkaska County Board voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 2026-03, which the minutes say supports state House Bills 5152 and 5153 and was described in discussion as intended to prohibit foreclosure fraud. Commissioner Jeff Sieting moved for adoption; the motion carried 7-0.
The minutes record brief discussion that characterized the bills as anti-foreclosure-fraud measures but do not include the bill text or the county's recommended language for state legislators. The action is a formal expression of the board's support; next steps would be administrative transmittal of the resolution to appropriate legislative or state officials if the county follows its usual practice for resolutions. "Motion by Sieting to approve Resolution 2026-03 Supporting HB 5152 and 5153. Supported by Matley. Discussion, noted to prohibit foreclosure fraud. Roll call vote: Sieting, yes; Matley, yes; Baldwin, yes; Bicum, yes; Comai, yes; Persons, yes; Fisher, yes. 7 yeas. 0 nays."
The minutes do not specify direct lobbying steps or a timeline for transmittal.
