HJR AA Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Legislature: other; legislature to present passed bills to the governor within 14 days or by noon on December 31 in even-numbered year; require. Amends sec. 33, art. IV & sec. 1, art. XII of the state constitution.

This Michigan constitutional amendment would require the legislature to present passed bills to the governor within 14 calendar days of final passage, or by noon on December 31 in an even-numbered year, whichever comes first. It also mandates that proposed constitutional amendments be filed with the secretary of state within the same 14-day window or by the end of the legislative session deadline. The resolution clarifies that the governor has exactly 14 days to consider a bill and specifies that if the governor does not return a vetoed bill within that period, it becomes law automatically. These changes aim to establish strict timelines for legislative actions to prevent bills from lingering without official executive review or public filing.
