HB 5646
Education: other; certain requirements for the approval of teacher preparation programs; create. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1531l.
This bill creates new requirements for teacher preparation programs in Michigan. Beginning September 30, 2027, the superintendent of public instruction will only issue teaching certificates or endorsements to individuals who complete programs meeting these new standards. Such programs must ensure that instructors of literacy or reading methods have comprehensive knowledge of the science of reading and cover specific content. This content includes critical components of literacy like phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension, along with understanding how to use assessment data for reading interventions in a multi-tiered system of supports. This applies to institutions of higher education and alternative teaching programs, and satisfying these requirements also fulfills the reading credit needed for professional certification.
HB 4518
Law enforcement: reports; Michigan Amber alert act; modify. Amends title & sec. 3 of 2002 PA 712 (MCL 28.753).
This bill amends the Michigan Amber Alert Act to expand the circumstances under which an Amber Alert can be activated. It requires the Department of State Police to activate the plan for reports of a missing child with special needs or any missing child if the department believes they are in imminent danger, following a preliminary investigation by a law enforcement agency. A child with special needs is specifically defined as an individual up to 26 years old who has a qualifying impairment and has not yet graduated high school. These new activation requirements take effect on July 23, 2026, and the act may be known as the "Rowan act."
HB 4104
Health occupations: occupational therapists; licensure process for occupational therapists; modify to incorporate occupational therapy licensure compact. Amends secs. 16345, 18301 & 18305 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16345 et seq.) & adds secs. 18303a & 18303b. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4103'25
This bill amends current law concerning occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants to incorporate an occupational therapy licensure compact. It allows individuals who hold a compact privilege under this agreement to practice in Michigan, treating them as if they were licensed under state law. The bill establishes a new annual fee of $75 for individuals holding such a compact privilege and requires the Michigan Board of Occupational Therapists to select a delegate for the compact. These changes are set to take effect on January 22, 2028, provided that House Bill 4103 from the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law.
HB 4805
Children: other; rolling average amount for disbursement under the children’s trust fund; increase. Amends sec. 1 of 1982 PA 249 (MCL 21.171).
This bill increases the maximum amount of money that can be disbursed annually from Michigan's Children's Trust Fund. Currently, varying percentages of the fund's 12-quarter rolling average, either 4.25% or 5% depending on the fund balance, are available for disbursement. This bill changes that, making up to 8% of the 12-quarter rolling average available for disbursement annually, beginning with fiscal year 2025. The Children's Trust Fund is a charitable and educational endowment managed by the Department of Treasury, used to support programs authorized by the state board. This act will only take effect if three other specific bills from the 103rd Legislature are also enacted into law.
HB 4072
Health: pharmaceuticals; allow patients to take unused portion of eye drops or eye ointments after certain procedures for continued patient care; provide for. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding secs. 17773, 20817 & 21539.
This bill requires Michigan hospitals and freestanding surgical outpatient facilities to offer patients any unused eye drops or eye ointments after an ophthalmic surgical procedure or medical care received at the facility. This applies when the medication is necessary for the patient's continued treatment after discharge. The prescriber at the facility must counsel the patient on how to use the medication at home, and pharmacist counseling is not required in these cases. If a pharmacist dispenses the medication, it must be labeled similarly to drugs dispensed by a prescriber. This law will take effect 91 days after the final adjournment of the 2026 regular legislative session.
HB 5806
Individual income tax: credit; housing opportunity tax credits; create. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding secs. 281 & 678. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5805'26, HB 5807'26

HB 4808
Civil rights: open meetings; the children trust Michigan state board; allow to meet remotely under the open meetings act. Amends sec. 3a of 1976 PA 267 (MCL 15.263a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4807'25
This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to allow the Children Trust Michigan board to hold its meetings remotely under any circumstances. Previously, electronic meetings were generally limited to specific situations, such as accommodating members absent due to military duty or a medical condition. The bill also removes the requirement for members of the Children Trust Michigan board to be physically present at a meeting if they are not on military duty or do not have a medical condition, unlike most other public bodies using remote participation. This change specifically applies to the state board created under the child abuse and neglect prevention act and took effect on July 23, 2026.
HB 5697
Education: teachers and administrators; completion of certain training for K-5 teachers; require. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1531k.
This bill requires Michigan public schools, intermediate school districts, and public school academies to ensure that K-5 teachers providing reading or language arts instruction, as well as personnel involved in K-5 literacy instruction, successfully complete specific professional learning. This training, which must be scientifically based and cover areas like phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension, must be completed by the start of the 2031-2032 school year for current staff, with a phased implementation beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. The Michigan Department of Education will approve training providers and develop a statewide implementation plan, while school entities must annually report on staff completion rates, costs, and funding sources starting in the 2026-2027 school year. Additionally, new hires or individuals transferred into these roles after the 2031-2032 school year have three years to complete the training, and schools must create and post a plan for its implementation, including compensation for time beyond contractual work. The requirements of this section are subject to the appropriation of sufficient funds.
HB 4396

HB 4208
Insurance: health benefits; exclusion of federal excepted benefits from a health insurance policy; provide for. Amends sec. 608 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.608). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4207'25
This bill changes the definition of "health insurance policy" within Michigan's insurance laws. Specifically, it states that an expense-incurred hospital, medical, or surgical policy, certificate, or contract does not include coverage that solely provides federal "excepted benefits" as described in 42 USC 300gg-91. This means policies that offer only these specific types of benefits, such as those for dental or vision care, are no longer classified as health insurance policies under the act. This change affects insurance companies and their policyholders in Michigan, taking effect on July 23, 2026.
HB 4746
Human services: food assistance; chip-enabled bridge card; require. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 14n.
This bill requires the Michigan Department of Social Services to issue chip-enabled Michigan bridge cards to people who receive food assistance or cash assistance benefits. The department must begin issuing these new cards no later than one year after July 22, 2026, which is the effective date of this act. The cards must meet applicable industry standards, specifically those published by the Accredited Standards Committee X9, and comply with federal law. Additionally, the department is directed to continuously upgrade the Michigan bridge card with any future enhanced security features that complement or replace the chip-enabling feature.
HB 5233
Labor: leave; paid military leave for certain members of a fire department or law enforcement agency; provide. Creates new act.
This bill creates a new act requiring organized fire departments and law enforcement agencies, including the state police, county sheriffs, and local police departments, to provide paid military leave. Full-time members of these agencies who are enlisted in the reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces will receive at least 26 days of paid military leave each year for duty or training. This leave must be paid at their regular rate and includes contractually required fringe benefits for members in bargaining units, though any unused leave cannot be carried over to the next year or reimbursed. The bill also provides paid leave for members attending pre-induction physical examinations for enlistment and outlines notice requirements for requesting military leave. For existing collective bargaining agreements that conflict with this act, it applies upon the agreement's expiration or the effective date of a new agreement, whichever is earlier.
HB 5807
Insurance: other; housing opportunity credits against the retaliatory tax; provide for. Amends secs. 476a & 476b of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.476a & 500.476b). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5805'26, HB 5806'26
This bill provides a new tax credit for certain foreign insurance companies operating in Michigan. It allows alien or foreign insurers that qualify as taxpayers to subtract a housing opportunity tax credit from the total burdens imposed by their home state, which helps reduce the retaliatory tax they might owe in Michigan. To claim this credit, insurers must attach an eligibility statement or approval notice for a qualified housing project to their tax return, and any adjustments to related federal low-income housing tax credits will also affect this Michigan credit. These provisions apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
HB 5570
Construction: code; single exit stairway in multiple-family dwellings; allow under certain conditions. Amends 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1501 - 125.1531) by adding sec. 4j.
This bill amends Michigan's construction code to allow certain multiple-family dwellings to have a single interior exit stairway. This change applies to buildings with no more than four levels above grade plane, provided they meet several specific conditions. These conditions include having no more than four units per level, a maximum level floor area of 4,000 square feet, and an exit travel distance of 125 feet or less. Additionally, the dwelling must include specific fire safety systems like manual fire alarms, automatic smoke detection, and sprinklers in stairways, and the stairway must be at least 48 inches wide with no electrical receptacles. This act does not take effect unless House Bill No. 5571 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law.
HB 4103
Health occupations: occupational therapists; occupational therapy licensure compact; enact. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 16188. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4104'25
This bill enacts the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact in Michigan, aiming to improve public access to occupational therapy services by allowing licensed occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants to practice in multiple member states. Under this compact, a licensee holding an unencumbered license in a "Home State" can obtain a "Compact Privilege" to practice in other "Remote States" that are part of the agreement, provided they meet conditions such as criminal background checks and the Remote State's jurisprudence requirements. The compact establishes an Occupational Therapy Compact Commission, a joint public agency responsible for creating rules, maintaining a data system for licensure and disciplinary information, and overseeing the compact's administration. The compact is set to become effective on January 22, 2028. This summary is based on only the opening portion of the bill text.

This bill establishes the Physician Assistant (PA) Licensure Compact in Michigan, allowing PAs licensed in one participating state to practice in other compact states through a "Compact Privilege." This initiative aims to enhance access to medical services and reduce barriers for military families by enabling mutual recognition of PA licenses. To qualify, a PA must meet specific requirements such as holding current national certification, having no felony convictions, and complying with rules set by the newly created PA Licensure Compact Commission. This commission will administer the compact, set fees, and oversee state participation. The law will take effect on October 20, 2026, though the provided text is only the opening portion of a longer document.

Children: child care; tri-share child care program and fund and CareShare arrangement; establish. Amends 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 - 722.128) by adding secs. 6b & 6c.
This bill creates the Tri-Share child care program and fund, along with a CareShare arrangement, to be administered by the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential. The Tri-Share program allows the state, employers, and employees to share child care costs, requiring employers to cover at least one-third of an employee's expenses. The CareShare arrangement is a voluntary employer-employee cost-sharing option for qualified child care expenses, specifically for employers on a waitlist for the Tri-Share program, but it does not include a state subsidy. It ensures uniform access for eligible employees and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for participating, with potential make-whole relief and a civil fine up to $1,000 for violations.

This bill enacts the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact in Michigan, which aims to improve public access to physical therapy services by facilitating interstate practice for licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. It allows eligible licensees from Michigan and other participating states to practice in those states under a "compact privilege," provided they meet specific requirements such as holding an unencumbered license in their home state and satisfying any remote state's jurisprudence rules. The compact establishes a Physical Therapy Compact Commission to oversee its administration, including developing a data system for licensure, investigative, and disciplinary information, and setting rules for member states. States joining the compact must participate in this data system, have a mechanism for investigating complaints, and implement criminal background checks for licensure applicants. This law is effective January 22, 2028. The provided text is only the opening portion of a longer document.

Children: foster care; conditions on the use of certain benefits for a child in foster care; provide. Amends 1994 PA 203 (MCL 722.951 - 722.960) by adding sec. 8f.
This bill establishes new rules for how benefits are handled for children in Michigan's foster care system. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to screen children for eligibility for federal and state benefits, such as Social Security and VA benefits, within 60 days of entering foster care and annually thereafter, applying for those not already received. If the department serves as the representative payee for these benefits, it must use or conserve the funds for the child's best interests, not to reimburse the state for care costs, and conserve at least 50% of benefits for children aged 14 to 17. The department must also provide annual financial accountings to the child and others, offer financial literacy training to children aged 14 and older, and make monthly payments to children for approved allowable expenses like education or medical costs. This act takes effect October 1, 2026, contingent on another related bill.
SB 421

This bill is purely ceremonial and designates the bridge on South Grand Avenue over highway I-96 in the village of Fowlerville as the "LCpl Michael W. Hanks Memorial Bridge." The state transportation department is directed to coordinate with the Livingston County road commission to place signs identifying the bridge at its approaches on South Grand Avenue and highway I-96. This designation takes effect immediately upon being signed into law.

HB 6074
Property: land sales; purchase of residential property by certain businesses; prohibit. Creates new act.
This act prohibits certain large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in Michigan. A large institutional investor is defined as a for-profit entity that manages or has a net value of $375,000,000 or more and has investment control over more than 100 single-family homes in the state, among other criteria. This prohibition applies to structures with two or fewer dwelling units, excluding manufactured homes. There are several exceptions to this rule, including purchases made for "build-to-rent" or "renovate-to-rent" programs, various homeownership programs, and acquisitions by mortgage servicers to mitigate loss, as well as purchases approved by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for specific purposes. If a large institutional investor violates this act, they face a civil fine of up to $25,000 for each single-family home improperly acquired, with the fines deposited into the general fund, and this act became effective on July 21, 2026.

HB 5630
Appropriations: school aid omnibus; fiscal year 2026-2027 appropriations for K-12 school aid, higher education, and community colleges; provide for. Amends, adds & repeals (See bill).
This bill makes extensive changes to the Public Act that governs state appropriations for public schools, intermediate school districts, community colleges, and public universities. The provided text primarily modifies and adds new definitions used to determine how state school aid is calculated, particularly focusing on pupil membership. These detailed rules specify how various types of students, such as those in cyber schools, special education programs, or alternative education, are counted for funding purposes. The changes affect eligibility criteria and counting methods across a broad range of educational programs and institutions. However, this initial portion of the bill does not contain the specific dollar amounts of appropriations for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This is only the opening portion of a longer document.
HB 4471
Retirement: county employees; employment of retirant in a county sheriff's office; allow without forfeiting retirement allowance. Amends sec. 12a of 1851 PA 156 (MCL 46.12a).
The provided text outlines the extensive powers of county boards of commissioners to establish and manage retirement plans for county employees. It details how counties can offer group life, health, accident, hospitalization, and disability coverage, as well as pension benefits, including how these benefits are calculated based on factors like average final compensation and years of service. The document also covers eligibility requirements for various employees, provisions for disability and death benefits, the crediting of military and other government service, and the financial management and funding of these retirement systems. This opening portion of the bill, however, does not include the specific amendment mentioned in its title concerning the employment of a retirant in a county sheriff's office without forfeiting their retirement allowance. This text is only the opening portion of a longer document.
SB 456
Law enforcement: reports; notification of the public through wireless devices of a missing senior or vulnerable adult; provide for. Amends title & sec. 5 of 2012 PA 176 (MCL 28.715).

Health facilities: other; surgical smoke plume evacuation plan; require. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 20187.
This bill requires health facilities and agencies in Michigan to develop and implement a policy for using surgical smoke plume evacuation systems during certain procedures. This applies to facilities that perform surgical procedures using heat-producing equipment, such as those that use electric currents to cut or remove tissue, lasers, or other heat-generating instruments. A surgical smoke plume evacuation system is defined as a dedicated device designed to capture, transport, filter, and neutralize surgical smoke plume at its source, preventing eye or respiratory tract contact. Health facilities and agencies must begin to implement this policy starting one year after the bill's effective date, which means the requirement will take effect on July 23, 2027.
SB 616
Civil procedure: civil actions; civil actions against certain opioid litigation settlement defendants; prohibit. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 2022 PA 85 (MCL 691.1672 & 691.1673).

HB 4517
Law enforcement: reports; communications under the amber alert act; modify. Amends title & secs. 1, 2 & 5 of 2002 PA 713 (MCL 28.761 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4518'25
This bill expands the types of cases for which radio and television stations can broadcast public alerts to help locate children. Previously focused on child abductions, the law now also covers reports of missing children and renames the act the "child abduction and missing child broadcast act." The bill clarifies that stations may use any method, including social media, to broadcast information received from the Department of State Police under the Michigan Amber Alert Act. It also provides immunity from liability for radio and television stations that accurately broadcast this information. This measure will only take effect if House Bill 4518 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law.
SB 71
Highways: bridges; Mackinac Bridge; designate as a key facility. Amends sec. 552c of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.552c).

HB 4207
Insurance: health benefits; excluding federal excepted benefits from a health insurance policy; provide for. Amends sec. 3701 of 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.3701). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4208'25
This bill amends Michigan's insurance laws to clarify the definition of a "health benefit plan." It specifies that a plan providing only "excepted benefits" as defined by federal law (42 USC 300gg-91) is not considered a health benefit plan under the state's insurance code. These excepted benefits typically include coverage such as dental, vision, or long-term care when offered separately from a comprehensive health plan. This distinction helps insurance carriers and small employers understand which specific types of health coverage are subject to the requirements of the Michigan Insurance Code. The bill is set to take immediate effect once it and House Bill 4208 are both enacted into law.
Other Action
HB 6223
Consumer protection: unfair trade practices; violation under Michigan consumer protection act for violations under the cryptocurrency exchange kiosk regulation act; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6222'26
This bill updates the Michigan Consumer Protection Act by adding certain violations related to cryptocurrency exchange kiosks to the list of unfair trade practices. Specifically, any violation of sections 5, 7, 9, or 11 of the cryptocurrency exchange kiosk regulation act would become an unlawful trade practice under the consumer protection law. This expansion means that businesses operating cryptocurrency kiosks could face enforcement actions under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act for these particular issues. The changes will take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law, but only if House Bill 6222 is also enacted.
HB 6222
Consumer protection: other; cryptocurrency exchange kiosk regulation act; create. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6223'26
This bill would create the Cryptocurrency Exchange Kiosk Regulation Act to establish rules for the installation and operation of physical electronic terminals that allow people to exchange government-issued currency for cryptocurrency or vice versa. Operators of these kiosks would be required to limit daily transactions to $500 per individual, implement a hold period of at least 24 hours for new users, and ensure kiosks are in secure, staffed locations. They would also need to display specific fraud warnings on kiosks, provide detailed receipts for transactions, and maintain records accessible by the Attorney General. The Attorney General could investigate violations and impose civil fines ranging from $10,000 for single violations to $25,000 for a pattern of violations, with the act taking effect 90 days after enactment, provided House Bill 6223 is also enacted.
