HB 6179: Financial institutions: mortgage brokers and lenders; consolidation of certain licensing statutes related to residential mortgages; make conforming changes in the Stille-DeRossett-Hale single state construction code act. Amends sec. 9c of 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1509c). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6177'26

This bill allows cities in Michigan to deny building permits, certificates of use and occupancy, or variances to individuals who owe unpaid fines or assessments related to local construction code enforcement. However, the law explicitly exempts certain entities from these penalties, including government-sponsored housing groups, financial institutions, credit union service organizations, and licensed mortgage servicers. Additionally, the bill ensures that permits cannot be denied if the proposed construction work is intended to fix the specific code violation that caused the original fine. The legislation will only take effect if a companion bill, HB 6177, is also passed into law.

HR 9708: SECURED Act of 2026

The SECURED Act of 2026 requires digital platforms that list short-term rentals to ask property owners if they are registered child sex offenders and to publicly display that status if the owner answers yes. Property owners who are registered offenders must respond truthfully to these requests, while platforms must provide a direct link to a public registry so guests can verify the information before booking. The Federal Trade Commission is authorized to enforce these rules as unfair business practices, and state attorneys general can also sue to stop violations or seek damages on behalf of residents. The law will not take effect until one year after it is signed into law.

HR 9667: Securing Healthcare and Income Entitlements for Lawfully Domiciled Citizens (SHIELD Citizens) Act

The SHIELD Citizens Act aims to restrict access to federal welfare programs, such as food assistance, Medicaid, and housing aid, exclusively to United States citizens. By amending existing laws, the bill removes eligibility for noncitizens, including lawfully domiciled residents, while preserving access to emergency medical care, disaster relief, and services like soup kitchens. The legislation includes a transition period allowing current recipients to keep their benefits for up to 180 days after the law takes effect, which is set to begin 180 days after enactment. This change directly impacts noncitizen families who currently rely on these safety net programs, narrowing the pool of eligible individuals to citizens only.

HR 9514: Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

The Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act restricts access to government-backed and private mortgage insurance for single-family homes to individuals who are U.S. citizens. Specifically, the bill amends laws governing the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to require that borrowers for one-to-four-unit properties must be citizens to qualify for their mortgage products. This change directly affects foreign nationals and non-citizen residents who currently might purchase homes with these types of financing, effectively limiting their eligibility for these specific mortgage programs.
