Holidays: other; "Michigan's Day of Recovery"; designate as the second Saturday of September of each year. Creates new act.
HB 4780 designates the second Saturday of September each year as "Michigan's Day of Recovery" to recognize Michiganders living with substance use disorders and the recovery community organizations that support them. The bill acknowledges that approximately 638,000 residents face substance use challenges, with only about 127,600 receiving treatment, while recovery organizations - providing long-term support - remain significantly underfunded. This legislation creates a formal state observance date but does not include new funding or policy changes for treatment programs. It is currently pending in the House Committee on Government Operations after being introduced on August 20, 2025.
