HJR D Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Legislature: sessions; part-time legislature; provide for. Amends sec. 13, art. IV of the state constitution.

This constitutional amendment (HJR D) would limit Michigan's regular legislative sessions to 90 consecutive days starting in 2027, directly affecting state legislators and the session calendar. It requires the legislature to adjourn each regular session by a set date, with pending bills from odd-numbered years automatically carried over to the next session. The change applies only to regular sessions, not extraordinary meetings, and would require voter approval to become part of the state constitution. The proposal does not alter current session lengths for 2025-2026 or affect other legislative procedures.
