HR 41 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to direct the Clerk of the House of Representatives to only present to the Governor enrolled House bills finally passed by both houses of the One Hundred Third Legislature.

This resolution directs the House Clerk to only present to the Governor bills that were finally passed by both chambers during the current 103rd Legislature session. It clarifies that bills from the previous 102nd Legislature session (which ended January 1, 2025) should not be presented by the new Clerk, as they do not carry over to the new session under Michigan's constitutional rules. The resolution ensures the Clerk follows the House's adopted rules for the current session.
